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?

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

Copying articles from Google Docs To Wordpress - Bottleneck

My writer sends me content in Google docs and images separately. Uploading them to Wordpress is a pain because I have to download everything individually and upload them one by one. A simple copy paste works for the most part but the main issue is - I want to give my images SEO friendly file names and copying them from docs names then 'image 1' , 'image 2', and so on in Wordpress. Does anyone have a solution for this? I would be forever grateful as it would save me a lot of time in uploading content. submitted by /u/Eastern-Individual64 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/KiTmF28
