Should I redirect my old blog to the new one?

Long story short, I think my blog might have some kind of penalty and I decided to rebrand and start on a new domain. The point of this post is not if I have a penalty or I should have rebranded. I am fine with the decision and I’m ready to start from scratch.

The question is, should I 301 redirect the posts that I moved from the old blog to the new one? I’m not moving all of them but about 70%. If I do, what do I do with the old blog? Should I just delete it or leave it up with a “goodbye” post? I don’t plan on selling those domains anyway and I don’t pay the hosting so there’s no problem in keeping it up. Could it hurt my new blog if I do?

The blogs are both about programming and leadership. Old one has about 1k backlinks, mostly useless nofollow directories but a few good ones that I can redirect to the new one since I somewhat have control over those sites or they are owned by people I know . Old has DR of 28.

GPT suggests I do 301 redirects for those articles but I don’t trust it on this. What do you suggest?

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

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

are my YT keywords being ignored?

I have 3hr+ YT videos, so I chapter them out quite extensively. I've read in a couple places if I have too many keywords just grouped together they will all be ignored. Are my keywords being ignored...or are they even being crawled...through my chapters section? Also, is hashtagging in a chapter name good, bad, or not at all relevant? example chapters: Bookmarks: 0:00 Intro 4:25 Little Panda #littlepanda 13:04 Royale With Cheese Megaways #royalewithcheesemegaways 24:48 Big Bass Bonanza #bigbassbonanza 33:02 Book of Cats #bookofcats 44:11 Tractor Beam #tractorbeam submitted by /u/bauerwelson [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/3Gx8IPZ
