      if its an old site am I assuming that the whole site will at some point be redirected? as long as the content if the same it could still work from a user point of view.  if worried you could i suppose use a 302 as a temporary measure for users to get back to the old site which will help and be removed a short while down the road when you've finished moving the site.

      It comes down to your action plan for moving the site (time scales etc.)

          I don't normally disclose the domains, but here goes...

          https://www.google.es/search?num=100&site=&source=hp&q=site%3Awww.e-cocinasplus.com+inurl%3Aborowski&oq=site%3Awww.e-cocinasplus.com+inurl%3Aborowski&gs_l=hp.12...2601.2601.0.3969.3.3.0.0.0.0.121.330.1j2.3.0....0...1c.1.51.hp..3.0.0.0.gDRetnWn_x4

          Scroll down until you see breadcrumbs and hover over... weird...

            Large site.. 19K + pages on this site. It appears that there are about 4,000 302 redirects. and 100+ 301 redirects. I would suggest doing a 302 on anything that is not working correctly till you figure it out.

            I did find an internal server error on this page
            www.e-cocinasplus.com/en/wusthof-gourmet-cooks-knife-26cm-1500.html

              Thanks... A fresh pair of eyes is good - how did you find 4000 302 redirects? That could be the issue here - can u give me a few example urls?

                    I just ran a Screaming Frog check - yes there are 302 redirections but for the Google Plus sharing button on each product page - so in essence, not what I had hoped it would be - did you look at the link I sent you in the SERP results?

                      the reason is because the following links are going to the new site on your old site -

                        Hey again. thanks for the help - The screenshot you sent me is the new site - and yes, the old site (e-cocinasplus) links to the new site - that is how I wanted it - but did you see the SERP results where the breadcrumbs are? That's the weird part I can't work out...

                          This is one of those things that just takes time. We moved our blog from /blog to a blog. subdomain about 2 months ago and have only recently seen SERPs reflect that. Also, the SERP results got better gradually rather than shifting overnight.
