      Hello, I work with SEO for a company that just bought another in the same field. What is better to do? Just a 301 domain? Make 301 per page for a related page (more than 10,000 URLs,  i'am afraid that this may be interpreted as blackhat ) or make crossdomain canonical tag urls related to (I believe this is not good, because the pages are not fully equal).

      thank's

        In order to fully answer that question some more data is needed to provide with an educated answer. I had the same thing and I decided to use the additional site as a nother source of traffic and lead source provider. You can still use the relevance for seo but I would not redirect the whole pages. Expect them to lose their importance if you refer all.

          I saw that in WEBMASTERTOOLS has an option to change address. There is a manual for change of address.

          In the case also for 301 redirection:

          https://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=pt-BR&answer=93633

          One of the guidelines is:

          You're joining two sites and want to make sure that the links to outdated URLs are redirected to the correct pages.

          So I think that is okay to do multiple 301, since the very google guides.

          : )
