Best way to move the content to a different domain without inviting any SERP penalty?posted in Intermediate & Advanced SEO
Hi all,
We are in a bit of a fix right now. We have around 60-70 articles (Wordpress pages / posts) that we intend to move to another domain of ours. What's the best way to do so such that we do not invite any Google penalty.
Here's a detailed information about our case:
Let's say, our site example.com has more 2000 articles. To help us better position our content for one of the sections on example.com, we have started another website, example2.com and want to move those 60-70 articles from example.com to example2.com.What is the best way to do it such that we are not penalised by Google? Is it (a) Move all the said content (60-70 articles) from example.com to example2.com and (b) do a permanent redirect (301) of each of the older article URLs to newer article URLs.
What are the other options?

Thanks for that reply Dirk.
I think what you are referring to is quite applicable when the CDN is setup via using a S3 bucket. I followed the following guide to setup my CloudFront CDN:
https://www.doitwithwp.com/set-up-w3-total-cache-with-amazon-cloudfront-cdn
Here are the 2 problems that I'm facing currently:
1. The images appear at multiple CDN locations - http://cdn5.sarkarilife.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/bank-awareness-gk-ibps-bank-exams.jpg as well as http://cdn1.sarkarilife.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/bank-awareness-gk-ibps-bank-exams.jpg .
2. The same image is not available at the original location - http://sarkarilife.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/bank-awareness-gk-ibps-bank-exams.jpg
Looking forward to your response.

Why are there lots of 404s after setting up CDN?posted in Web Design
I just setup Cloudfront CDN through W3 Total Cache. Everything looks good but there is one problem that I have encountered:
After activating the CDN none of the images are available at the older image URLs and they are throwing a 404 error.
Let me give you an example for this:
1. Before I setup the CDN, let's say an image was available at http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/leap-of-faith.jpg
2. After I setup the CDN, the image is available at http://cdn.example.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/leap-of-faith.jpg and the good part is the URLs in the blog posts where this image was attached is updated to reflect the above mentioned URL. But the problem is that when visit the older URL of the image (which is what Google has crawled earlier, I get a 404 error).
Can you help me how to avoid this problem?
