Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi NorthStarInbound, thanks for your response.

By "retiring" i mean deleting. They're old URLs that we'd like to get rid of and just let the new pages stand on their own.

But we would be giving up the authority that those pages have accumulated. The question is, how much authority is at stake? How large of a hit are we going to take? How can we measure this?

Any advice is helpful! Thanks, yael

Hello!

So, we migrated our website in 2015 to the "new version" and we now have 20,000 old URLs that we'd like to officially retire. the only traffic coming to these pages is obviously from backlinks pointing at our site.

How do i gauge the hit that our website will take once we retire these URLs?

Is there a tool that will allow me to look at referral traffic numbers per URL so that i know how much traffic we'll be losing?

any advice would be helpful!

thanks!

we are creating a video based off the content on one of our web pages. i know it's probably better for the video to be embedded on the same page as the article but if they aren't, what should we do to make sure that we aren't diluting our ranking power?  Both pages will be going after the same key phrase...

If a website did an HTTP to HTTPS migration using 302 re-directs, that were corrected to 301s about 4 months later, what is the expected impact? Will the website see a full recovery or has the damage been done? Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this...
