Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Doesn't appear to one available.  Is it common for SharePoint to be used for public sites?   Maybe they'll include some SEO functionality in future releases.

I think I understand better now.

Use the noindex,follow tag on the content you don't want included in the search index.

If you are using Wordpress then you should check out http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/

Yeah so if you want pages on the acquired site to go to corresponding pages on the primary site like you mention above

www.aquired.com/interior-page-1 >> redirects >> www.primary.com/interior-page-1

then you can create 301 redirect with a regular expression pattern with wild card to capture the URL and reuse them in the target URL.

If you have lots URLs then this will be quickest way rather creating an entry for every possible URL.

Hope this helps

I agree with James, best to implement canonical tags.

The pagination tags should help clear things up for the spiders.

Best way to safeguard is to configure 301 redirects from old URL to new URL.

This will let Google know its changed and more importantly conserve the link juice.  More info can be found here:

Hi,

Where does the site currently ranks in comparison to competitors?  Do the existing links to your site contain the website name/URL? How many backlinks are you considering changing?  How many keywords?

To go back and change the anchor text of all back links will look unnatural.  I'd lean towards identifying a few existing backlinks from sites with high mR/mT etc and changing the anchor text on these while also focusing on building new links from high mR/mT sites.

You could implement the canonical tag to eliminate the self-created duplicate content.

Hope this helps!

The only related tool I know of is the IIS SEO kit - http://www.iis.net/download/seotoolkit but I suspect this isn't what you're after.

What SEO tasks do you need to do for each site?

Ultimately you'll probably want your primary (real site domain) ranking for the keywords so you'll want to 301 redirect the acquired site to the primary domain.

As the site content is essentially one and the same you'll be able to set-up a wildcard 301 redirect, at the server level (Apache/IIS) which will take care of the interior pages
