Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the help!

For the last few years I've had a website called husky-floor-liners.com. It was dedicated to specific brand of floor liner. Earlier this year, I decided to make the site bigger to incorporate further brands of floor liners and mats, so I turned it into floormatsandliners.com, and redirected all the old URL's to the new ones. Would it be bad to move that site, yet again, to a subfolder on a site of mine like truckprofile.com? Then have the content of floormatsandliners.com moved to truckprofile.com/floor-mats-liners?

And then should I have the brands and parts structure be like: truckprofile.com/floor-mats-liners/husky/floor-liners?

Thanks!

While consolidation is good, too many 301 Redirects in too short a period of time can be a hassle.  I'd suggest building out other content initially, and letting the floor mats site build up some value over several months before considering a migration of that.  Jumping too soon on a recently redirected site could cause too much loss of original site value as it passes through two hops.

Thank you, that's what I was wondering. Ok, I'll start working on a central site in the meantime.

Will Google freak out, or will there be any other issues if all of the sudden I'm doing all these 301 Redirects from 20 sites to a single website?

Thank you,

Andy

that's a very good question.  You may want to post it as a new question so we can get fresh eyes on it.  Personally I haven't ever done so many sites at once so I too am curious to find out if others have this specific experience.

If not, you may very well end up being the gunea pig.  In that case, I would suggest not doing more than one or two a week.

Just wondering, did you post this question as a new question as I'd be interested in the answers? (I did a search but could not seem to find it)

Definitely go for the one domain approach in a bid to create a larger digital footprint, I too used to have multiple single domains targeting a keyword or two and now after the last Google Panda update these keyword rich domains aren't as effective as they once were.
