Moving most (not all) content to another domain

[Richard555]

Hi there,

My company website has 3 main sections, two of those sections (each containing approx. 50 pages) will be moving to a separate website.

The new website will also be owned by the same company. The new domain does not yet exist.

I read this guide http://www.seomoz.org/blog/seo-guide-how-to-properly-move-domains , its very good, however it refers to moving the whole domain to a new URL.

Are there any specific differences to consider in my situation for a partial move?

Many thanks in advance!

Nigel

Dear Nigel,

When you want your old domain to be partially moved on to a new a domain, you don't need to make changes in the Change of address section of webmaster tools account. You do a page-to-page (or 1:1) 301 re-direction for all the pages that you want to move from old domain to the respective pages on the new domain and perform all the steps out-lined at http://www.seomoz.org/blog/seo-guide-how-to-properly-move-domains

Good luck.

Best regards,

Devanur Rafi.
