Highly ranked pages to new domain?
Well, since the platforms are both woocommerce, you woudln't have to "copy it twice". That would be applicable if you were changing the environments. Just make sure that you create exact copy of pages - URLs, meta tags, images, alt tags, all text etc etc.

Moving pages to new domain
Hello James, I would advise you to make the new pages as close to the old ones as you can, meaning that you would use the same content and try to keep a similar file structure, including product names. Then make sure every one of your old product URLs has a 301 redirect to the new one on the new site. Also redirect the home page, category pages, and other indexed pages of the old site to their corresponding pages on the new site. Follow that up with some sort of catch-all redirect that ensures every other possible URL someone might end up on from the old site goes to the new site. How to do a successful domain migration is beyond the scope of this Q&A format. You should read the following, which will give you a better understanding of the process and things to look out for. And yes, despite what Kevin said, you can move rankings from one domain to another. I've done it many times. There will be a lag of a few weeks to a month, even if you do it right, but eventually Google figures out what has happened. https://moz.com/blog/website-migration-guide https://searchengineland.com/site-migration-seo-checklist-dont-lose-traffic-286880 http://www.seerinteractive.com/blog/website-migration-seo-checklist/

Redirect Juice?
Hi James, Considering that those redirects are 301, there is nearly no loss in linkjuice, as JohnMueller said. Also, a great study was published by Cyrus Sheperd: 301 Redirects Rules Change: What You Need to Know for SEO - Moz Blog Keep in mind that the middle parts in a redirect chain will never get any authority, as google doesnt see them live. The whole "juice" goes to the last piece of the chain. Do not never forget that GoogleBot can understand a finite number of redirects: Up to 5 hops. More info about that: Can too many redirects from a single URL have a negative effect on crawling? - Google Webmaster YouTube Channel Is there a limit to how many 301 (Permanent) redirects I can do on a site? - Google Webmaster YouTube Channel Hope it helps. Best luck! GR

PDF - host, link, recreate?
We have MANY products and different suppliers but want a way to be better at SEO then our manufactures. Write unique content for the most popular topics. Make that content far better than your competitors with detailed instructions, photos, data, information, etc. And, post that information as html pages on your website. Link it to the pages where the products are sold and link the sales pages to this content. Lots of work, but kickass when you have it finished. Start with the most profitable products that you sell. Do this exceptionally well.

DO outbound links to manufacture specs, pdfs help or hurt SEO?
personally, If I even had to question a link, I would add always rel="nofollow" to the urls. It is definitely important to send outbound links to high authorities, however I micro manage every single outbound link and make sure they're accounted for. I think it is a good practice to go by, because clearly all the top 100 Alexa ranked domains are ridiculously stingy with their outbound authority passing links. I doubt there is such a thing as too many nofollow links because comments/forums and such have a user base in which is beyond the sites. But there certainly is such a thing as too many outbound dofollow!

Structured data? Confused
Hi There, Also depends your needs for the markup. Do you have reviews and are looking for the average rating to be display in SERPs? Do you have events that you want listing? The tool listed above by Sean, is one I use quite a lot and if you use wordpress you can just take the code to the end of the page/post in the source code. Regards Neil

Image upload SEO tips?
Hello James, I believe Sean's have answered your questions. Just wanted to tell you not to overoptimize your image for SEO, you do not want all of your image file name, alt text, title text to be your keywords, that certainly doesn't help. For file type, I usually stick with JPG and compressed them using Tinyjpg.com before I upload it to my site, PNG typically has much larger file size. Cheers, Joseph Yap

DO outbound links to manufacture specs, pdfs help or hurt SEO?
Thanks for the response. Sorry for the dumb questions -- If I have a bunch of PDF's, why is this useful? Does this allow Google to crawl them and I get the SEO juice?

Best site Template, Structure, etc. for SEO
I recommend this page where you can find a lot of templates for woocomerce. They are pretty good and have good seo structure and logically are paid: https://themeforest.net/popular_item/by_category?category=wordpress%2Fecommerce%2Fwoocommerce I don't know exactly what you want it for: service, product, online business, offline, etc. If it exceeds exactly the web you want to create, it could be more specific.
