Advises for redirects
-
I worked on a website since 2 years now (mainly link building). Now, I need to change the CMS and the hosting company of this website. In order to improve the SEO of this website, I decided to change the URL structure as well, see example here below:
Actual situation:
http://www.mywebsite.com
http://walla.mywebsite.com/
http://ortak.mywebsite.com/http://www.mywebsite.com/de
http://walla.mywebsite.com/de
http://ortak.mywebsite.com/dehttp://www.mywebsite.com/es
http://walla.mywebsite.com/es
http://ortak.mywebsite.com/esFuture situation:
http://www.mywebsite.com
http://www.mywebsite.com/walla
http://www.mywebsite.com/ortakhttp://www.mywebsite.com/es
http://www.mywebsite.com/es/walla
http://www.mywebsite.com/es/ortakhttp://www.mywebsite.com/de
http://www.mywebsite.com/de/walla
http://www.mywebsite.com/de/ortak-
Since the hosting, the CMS and the URL’s will change, what you recommend me to do in order to keep a maximum of “link juice” to the pages!?

Seriously it took exactly 2 lines of code to detect and 301 redirects walla.mywebsite.com into www.mywebsite.com/wallaHTTP Rewrite is an extremely useful tool, if you are not familiar with them , please go here http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/sitemanagement/urlrewriting.html (or just google http rewrite redirect)
