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

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
