Moving Blog and 301 Redirect Advice
-
Hello Moz Community,
We recently moved our blog from its own domain to a directory on our website. We do not plan on moving over all the old blog posts because a majority most of them are based on events or time-sensitive information that has passed.
We need advice on what to do with all of the old blog URL's? Should we just 301 all of them to the new blog directory on our website (www.domain.com/blog)? Should we take the time to move over all the old blog content and put the appropriate 301's in place? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Best,

Here is the general advice .
301 all the old urls to the appropriate new urls ( that exists )
For the stuff that you think are not worth moving across ( events or time-sensitive information ) you could redirect all of those individual post that to the category page ( if you have one )
eg:
gets 301 redirected to
would that be a possible solution, if not let us know why and we can look at other alternatives
