Realized I bought a pre-owned domain name, feeling a bit unsure

So, before I bought this domain name, I did some searches, seeing if any companies, random websites, or usernames came up for it. I'm starting a blog and wanted a fairly clean slate. Well, all I found was a Twitter user with the same name that hadn't posted since around 2014. Also, I wanted a .com, and nobody owned any of the other TLDs with that name. So, I thought good enough.

Long story short, a few days later I realized that the domain had been owned before. I forgot to check the Internet Archive. Someone had a blog from about 2013-2016 with pretty similar content as to what I am planning on posting. Not sure if I should pick a new name or not. I can pull out without too much trouble, as I'm still in the very beginnings.

Something tells me I might want to stay clear of this name. Should I re-choose? Or maybe I'm overthinking this? Thanks.

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? Thanks all! submitted by /u/runtmc2 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/31dJ82b

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
