      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/de

      http://www.mywebsite.com/es 
      http://walla.mywebsite.com/es 
      http://ortak.mywebsite.com/es

      Future situation:

      http://www.mywebsite.com 
      http://www.mywebsite.com/walla 
      http://www.mywebsite.com/ortak

      http://www.mywebsite.com/es 
      http://www.mywebsite.com/es/walla 
      http://www.mywebsite.com/es/ortak

      http://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!?

      • How / Where to setup the 301 redirects?

        To tell you the truth it is actually very easy 🙂 , but you have to familiar yourself with .htaccess HTTP REWRITE engine 🙂 .. Seriously it took exactly 2 lines of code to detect and 301 redirects walla.mywebsite.com into www.mywebsite.com/walla

        HTTP 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)
