Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Dear SEO Gurus,

I have been working on #2 site for a couple of months and I think it is a good idea to redirect #1 (old site) to #2 (new site) below, yes?  What is the most effective way of doing this?  Do I have to 301 Redirect one page from the old site to a relevant page on the new site and do this for every page.... or can I do a 301 redirect for the whole old site to the new site?

Thank you for your time in advance for helping me out!

Sheryl

Thank you, Phil!  Makes sense now!

Totally helpful, thank you!

No, I just send an email to the account manager at register.com telling him to do things exactly as I say.  It is very time consuming, but this is the way the business owner wants it done for now.

On my SEOmoz report, there are several 404 pages that I assume need deletion.  Yes? When I am looking at my pages from the back-end of WordPress, how do I identify these to delete or fix them?  In the list of pages I have created, it is not at all apparent when I click into "edit" the page that any of these are broken pages.  I think the 404 pages are urls from pages that I changed the url to be more seo friendly, but they don't really exist.  I hope this makes sense - it is baffling to me : )

Thank you for any insight and help with getting these cleared.  The errors are listed below from the report.

I have been whittling away at the duplicate content on my clients' sites, thanks to SEOmoz's pro report, and have been getting push back from the account manager at register.com (the site was built here and the owner doesn't want to move it).  He says these are the exact same page and he can't access one to redirect to the other.  Any suggestions?

The SEOmoz report says there is duplicate content on both these urls:

Durango Mountain Biking | Durango Mountain Resort - Cascade Village

http://www.cascadevillagehotel.com/index.htm

Durango Mountain Biking | Durango Mountain Resort - Cascade Village

http://www.cascadevillagehotel.com/

Your help is greatly appreciated!

I am having a very difficult time with SEO by Yoast regarding duplicate title tags. I was also having duplicate page content because of all the cateories I have with my client's menu items and it wasn't apparent that SEO Yoast had an on off switch for robots meta tags for anything else than posts and pages, not categories.  (Am I missing something here?)

So I went the a la carte method and used two plugins that I have had good luck with, "Page Meta" that takes care of posts, pages and categories title and meta descp and "Robots Meta"  to make the categories no-follow.   I do love SEO by Yoast for the Page Analysis tool that is really fast for on page seo.  Any thoughts as to this approach?  I wonder about slowing down my site's speed with this approach.

I have 2 pages in my report that are identical:

www.ferringway.com (more  page authority......21 vs. 1)

www.ferringway.com/index.php (more linking root domains...... 40 vs. 21)

Which one should I delete or should I do something like a 301 redirect?

Your help is greatly appreciated!
