The website in question is a very high traffic website with substantial credibility in it's subject matter (sorry, can't share more details) that delivers an overwhelming majority of traffic from SEO, much of which is new visitors.
A legal dispute has resulted in both parties agreeing to forward a percentage of the total URLs to alternative websites (only 1 website for each party). All URLs for the domain will be forwarded elsewhere.
It does not make sense to me that the "sum of the parts" will be as strong once the redirects are implemented but I am looking for feedback.
It is fair to say that the alternative domains of each party are no where near as strong as the domain being "parted out."
Will the SEO juice be distributed to each domain in full? Will both parties lose out substantially?
Feel free to ask for clarifications and I'll do the best I can given the legal parameters.
Thanks.
