Moving some of the articles from SITE A to SITE B and implementing 301 redirect -- SEO Effect

Hi there,

(I've also posted this on r/bigSEO, and I'm hoping to get some advice)

I hope y'all are doing great. So, I recently purchased an expired domain (let's call it "site B"). This domain has great backlinks and it is in the same niche as the other website that I own (let's call it "site A").

Now, site A has some great content which I think would perform better on site B. And I want to delete this content from site A and publish it on site B and then implement 301 redirects.

My question is: can I move some of the articles from site A to site B and implement 301 redirects? If I do that, will it impact the sites negatively? I want both the sites to have a separate identity, but I also don't want to lose any link juice.

I'm confused because 301 redirects mean a permanent move. Is it normal for sites to permanently move some of their content to the new URLs?

I'm not sure how Google will handle this. If I was moving all the articles to site B, then it would have been simple. Because in that case, we would be telling Google that we're moving permanently from here. But since this will only be a couple of URLs, how do you think it would pan out?

And do you think it's a good idea?

Any advice is appreciated!

Thanks

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
