Will having the .com to a website help it at all?

I'm in a bit of a situation here. I have a pretty big recipe website and one day a friend reached out to me showing me a screenshot of the .com (it's a .co) asking what happened. This motivated me to email the owner of that website. The website has nothing on it, all the links are broken.

He's willing to let go of it for $5,000 but he's also including 5 other domains in the same category that are pretty good (4 of them .co.uk). The guy sold a business for $50m last year, he's definitely not willing to negotiate or anything. I think he's just trying to get out of this space that he was in before all that.

Examples:

Our site? MyRedditRecipes.co

He has MyRedditRecipes.com RedditRecipes.com and MyRedditRecipes.co.uk

Also has RedditDessert.co.uk and RedditDesserts.co.uk (this would be an actual company name there)

and RedditCake.co.uk which could be useful to any company in this space?

I just don't know what to do here. Would the .com help me at all with SEO?

Another thing is that 2 of the domains pertain to an already established business in the UK. Wondering if I could reach out to them and recover some of the cost. You think it's worth contacting them before? He gave me a week to decide.

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank?

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
