Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Totally - thanks!

Thanks for the response. Can you expand on the "wildcard redirect". Our it team set up a 301 redirect so that any URL on the acquired site redirects to the home page of the primary site. So for example:

www.aquired.com/interior-page-1 redirects to www.primary.com

instead of

www.primary.com/interior-page-1

Any thoughts on this set-up.

Thanks for the insight Nakul.

Hello - My company acquired another company in our industry and our IT team immediately set up the acquired companies domain name as a an alias to our site.

This created a duplicate version of our website under another domain name and Google started ranking interior pages from the aliased acquired site for several top keywords that were previously held by our real site.

Should we 301 redirect just the top level domain name of the acquired site to the real site or 301 redirect the top level domain name and the interior pages on the acquired site to help ensure that our real domain will take back the rankings it once had?

Thanks!

Great - thanks for the info Stephen!

Is there SEO value from investing in keyword optimizing all pages of an alcohol product web site that requires age verification to enter?

Would Google index and display the pages that live after the age verification page for targeted keyword searches? If if you go directly to an interior page URL, the site would still require age verification before showing you the page content. For example: <cite>www.jackdaniels.com/tennesseewhiskey/</cite>

Any advice or insight based on experience with an alcohol site would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
