I have never done a migration of a website with so many URL's it is kind of overwhelming. I do have a 404 page with the catchall rule in place. See i'm coming from the business side of SEO i'm not really the developer getting in there and actually doing the migration ( I tip my hat to all you developers without you I am nothing but a voice). I'm guiding my developer to the safest route. Doing the migration all at once does make sense to prevent both sites being cached

RE: How do I find the most popular questions being searched in my industry?
Hey could you provide a little bit more insight to your request?
I'm assuming your looking for people's questions to find write up the proper articles to answer their questions. Marketing 101 find the demand and create a supply. There are multiple ways you can go about this:
1st List all your competitors and see what they are doing on the web. What exactly are they writing about
2nd. Do a pull of their backlinks and see who's linking to them and why so. Whats their anchor text, the anchor text is important because it shows what people (blogs/websites) think about their site.
This should be a good start for you being you provided limited information.
Best of lucky buddy

RE: Massive URL Migration with thousands of 301
Hey Thanks for the response!
I'm currently dealing with a site that has a large duplication problem and i'm Canon tagging them all to then 301 them all over. Why shouldn't I do a phase approach though? Wouldn't it be easier to see where errors happen if I come at this migration with a phased approach?

Massive URL Migration with thousands of 301
Hey Everyone!
I'm currently working on a project that we have A Lot of product pages and we have thousands of URL's that need to be 301'd over. I know this can be a major issue and could lead to tons of errors. What is everyone's thought of doing such a huge Migration, Should I do it all in phases? or should I do them all at once so they can all be indexed together?
What would you suggest to be the best way to go about doing such a massive migration?

Would you be redirecting 2 different URL's with unique content to 1 url?

RE: What is your thoughts on the proper way for one brand to promote a sub-brand.
I understand linking to the page only if it makes sense. What are your thoughts on the location of the link? should they be placed at the top left/right or just place them in the footer.
The major differentiation between the two examples of branding I gave were one brand is promoting its sub-brand with a 1 way link they are not linking to one another (example : Brand A is only linking to Brand B & Brand C while Brand B&C do not link to Brand A). The other example is all of the brands are interchangeably linking to one another (example : Brand A is linking to B&C while B&C also Link to Brand A)

What is your thoughts on the proper way for one brand to promote a sub-brand.
Greetings fellow Mozers!
How Do Major Companies Promote Their New Sub-Brands
I'm curious to see everyone's thoughts on how and what is the best process to promoting your companies new brand. I see companies like Wayfair.com promoting their sub-brand "All Modern" and "Wayfair supply" (maybe "sub-brand" isn't the best term) in the top left of the page as a link. I believe this is only a SEO play because they are only outbound links to the brand website. If you go to "All Modern" there are no links back to Wayfair. I then looked at a company like Gap.com and notice that all of their other brands are promoted on the website and are also interchangeably linked to one another.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the best way to link and or promote your smaller brand that could potentially turn it into a Major Brand. Do you think this is just a SEO linking play. I'm curious to see everyone's thoughts
