Is 301 redirects a deal breaker for Migrating content or moving to new software?
I have this forum with about 2 million posts for 16 years on root of the domain. I am looking to switch softwares but the top ones won’t help setup 301 redirects. But I can still migrate all my members and all my content (threads/posts), would Google still reindex all our content or if we don’t setup redirects would it really kill our entire traffic for a long time or maybe just a month or so? I really want to migrate to software that isn’t forum based but rather something that offers courses, chat, live video streaming, subscription based etc. and this is the only way to do so OR to set it up on an entirely new domain OR subdomain but to me that is like starting all over from scratch? I could archive the forum to read only and set it up on subdomain or another root domain - then on the archived forum setup banners and a pop up linking to the new site or new subdomain? . This is such a hard decision for us as the current forum we have had for so many years has lost members posting from 1k a day to just a handful a day, our fb group though gets 1k a day so I’m trying to revive a site into something more modern and has all the training features we can offer as well.

Should I split long form content?
I have quite a long content on my site. By length I mean around 8000-9000 words. I optimized it to cover almost all searches related to a topic. But this length makes me uneasy for some reason. I do not think that users will find what they are looking for in such a long content. However, I don't want to neglect the SEO aspect of the content. I can talk about something like this without sharing the keywords completely: Title + for girls Title + for boys Title + for kids Title + for girlfriend Title + for boyfriend Title + for students As I said, in the current situation, these are all sub-headings (H2) of 8000-9000-word content. When I make a separate content for each of them, I can bring them all closer to 1500-2000 words. However, I am undecided whether this is the right step in terms of SEO and content optimization. What are your views?

Unsolved Orphaned unwanted urls from the cms
Hi
Technical SEO | | MattHopkins
I am working on quite an old cms, and there are bunch of urls that don't make any sense.
https://www.trentfurniture.co.uk/products/all-outdoor-furniture/all-outdoor-furniture/1
https://www.trentfurniture.co.uk/products/all-chairs/all-chairs/1

https://www.trentfurniture.co.uk/products/all-chairs/bar-furniture/1
https://www.trentfurniture.co.uk/products/all-chairs/bentwood-furniture/1
For example there are no internal links. And fortunately not much traffic at all. But I can't see in the cms why they are generating? I've tried to check the html code to check why, what's the reason? But all I can think of is the structure....? something odd the cms writes?
Anyone have any ideas please? And would I redirect all these? Just thinking there could be a better solution/fix, rather than redirects since there are no links or traffic.....Like the devs solve why they are generating.....Unfortunately I get very slow responses from the devs as a 3rd pty company, hence on here ;0). (Some of those are indexed too)... :0) Thanks in advance....0 -

slug Link redirect to subdomain?
Hi !
Link Building | | Leviiii
Im Levi new here and new in the world of SEO, please dont judge if my questions are silly. Back on the days when the site was built we thought it is a good ideea to have subdomains that together with the domain name represent our main keywords.
ex. https://stansted.tonorwich.uk, https://heathrow.tonorwich.uk, https://luton.tonorwich.uk, https://gatwick.tonorwich.uk. There is content on this subdomains, would it make any difference from SEO perspective if we create slugs that redirect to these subdomains? for example creating https://tonorwich.uk/taxi-minibus-vip-tesla-norwich-to-stansted that redirects to https://stansted.tonorwich.uk ? Or better create these slugs with slightly different content?
Any ideeas would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!0 -
Slug redirect to existing subdomain?
Hi everyone, I'm Levi, new here and new in the world of SEO so please don't judge if my question is silly. Back on the days when my website was built we tought of having subdomains to help with SEO. We have a couple subdomains set up https://stansted.tonorwich.uk, https://heathrow.tonorwich.uk, https://gatwick.tonorwich.uk, https://luton.tonorwich.uk etc .
Link Building | | Leviiii
We do have some content on these, but from seo perspective creating a slug and redirecting it to the subdomains would be beneficial? Would it make any difference at all, good or bad? Ex. Creating
https://tonorwich.uk/taxi-minibus-tofrom-stansted and redirecting it to https://stansted.tonorwich.uk
Will this help or we better create different content on the slugs? Waiting for your opinions.

Filter By Category bad for seo?
Hello Everyone! I know that a single product should not have filter by color option since it will create duplicate content, and you have to use canonical tags to solve it. BUT how about sorting through products via category/brands?
On-Page Optimization | | Safxmed
Filter by category changes the URL of the General shop page (ex: hello.com/Shop/Category1022039 ). This page only displays the products within, no content/ descriptions etc unlike the original category page (ORIGINAL CATEGORY PAGE) Each of these category/brand already have their own individual pages (ex: hello.com/Shop/A). This is the page that will be optimized for content, FAQ, and ranking etc. Unlike in the url created when filtering through the categories. So technically I would have 2 URL for each Brand/Category. Would they compete with each other? What would you guys suggest. Please advise me on this. Thank You0 -

GA traffic locations must be wrong? Most hits from a state we don't do business in!
I launched a website earlier this year. Very limited traffic, 200-300 a month. It is an info site for a specialized business. However, when I review my GA traffic reports, 20% of our traffic comes from one city in Virginia. (although the company does business in many states, it does not in Virginia) or anything close. The bounce rate is 97%! Could it be a web scraper or some kind of redirect?

Unsolved مداد ابرو خوب چی بخرم؟
مقدمه: احتمالا شما نیز یکی از افرادی هستید که به دنبال لیست قیمت و خرید بهترین و کاربردی ترین یا شاید هم مارک های خوب و عالی مداد ابرو باشد؟ با بررسی ۳۶ نوع از بهترین مداد ابرو ها (از جمله مداد هاشور ابرو- مداد ابروی فلورمار، اتود، بل، بنفیست، تایرا و میبلین همراه ما باشید. ویژگیهای یک مداد ابروی خوب چیست؟ ابرو یکی از اجزای صورت است که نقش زیادی در زیبایی صورت دارد. هر خانمی دوست دارد که ابروهای پرپشت و خوش حالت داشته باشد. استفاده از داروهای گیاهی و شیمیایی از جمله این موارد است. اما این ابزارها در درازمدت تأثیر خود را نشان میدهند. از دهه ۹۰ میلادی مداد ابرو به کیت آرایشی بانوان اضافه شد. مداد ابرو ابزاری فوقالعاده کاربردی با تنوع رنگ است. این ابزار آرایشی – بهداشتی بسیار کارآمد بوده و زیبایی ابروها را دوچندان میکند. در این نوشتار میخواهیم شما را با انواع مداد ابرو آشنا کنیم تا بتوانید بهترین انتخاب را داشته باشید. انواع مداد ابرو و عملکرد آنها مداد ابروها از نظر ظاهری به مدادهای معمولی شبیه هستند. اما در مدلهایی موسوم به مداد پیچی، کمی متفاوتتر از مداد معمولی هستند. این نمونه مدادها به طرز شگفتانگیزی کار را برای شما راحت میکنند. بدنه آنها از جنس پلاستیکی یا فلزی بوده و محبوبیت زیادی دارند. عملکرد آنها به این صورت است که با پیچاندن قسمت انتهای مداد، امکان کشیدن خط ابرو برای شما فراهم میشود. از مزیتهای این نوع قلمها، عدم نیاز به تراش کردن است. انواع دیگری از مداد ابروها نیز تولید و عرضه میشوند. ساختار و نحوه استفاده از این نوع مدادها، باعث شده که عملکرد آنها نیز متفاوت باشد. انواع مداد ابرو از نظر عملکرد و کارایی: مداد ابرو ماژیکی ماژیک ابرو مدل جدید مداد ابرو هستند. این مداد ابروها در چند سال اخیر، ابزار ثابت لوازم آرایشی بانوان است. دارای سری نمدی مملو از رنگدانههای متفاوت است. از مداد ابرو ماژیکی برای کشیدن خط ابروی دقیق استفاده میشود. ماژیک ابرو برای افرادی که میخواهند جلوه نرم و طبیعی از ابروی خود با غلظت زیاد به نمایش درآورند، مناسب است. این قابلیت باعث میشود که کاملاً منحصربهفرد و خاص باشید. مزیت این نوع مداد ابروها ضدآب بودن و مقاومت بالای آنها در برابر تعریق است. مداد ابرو پودری این نوع مداد ابروها به ابرو بافتی مخملی و سبک میدهند. مداد ابرو پودری برای پرکردن نواحی خالی ابرو کاربرد دارند. ماندگاری بالایی دارند و ظاهر طبیعی و پرپشت خود را در مراسمها و مجالس تا ساعتها در بین جاهای کم پشت ابروهای شما نگه میدارند. کارکردن با این مدادها بهسهولت انجام میشود. همچنین هیچ ردی از خود بر جای نمیگذارند. مداد ابرو هاشور این مدل مداد ابرو از نظر ظاهری مشابه سایر مدادهای آرایشی هستند. با این تفاوت که سری آنها اریب با سطح صاف است. از قسمت اریب و باریک آن امکان کشیدن خطوط ظریف و طبیعی با زاویه تیز برای شما امکانپذیر است. درصورتیکه مایل به ترسیم خطوط پهنتر هستید از بخش صاف مداد، کمک بگیرید. ترسیم ابروهای متقارن از دیگر قابلیتهای مداد ابرو هاشوری است. در برخی مدلهای این نوع مدادها، برس تعبیه شده است. از این برس برای بازکردن تارهای ابرو از یکدیگر استفاده میشود. ماژیک هاشور از بهترین و جدیدترین مداد ابروها در بازار هستند. سری آنها مشابه مداد ابرو هاشور است و رنگ آنها بر اساس مخزن داخلی آنهاست. جایگزین خوبی برای انواع مداد ابروهای معمولی و هاشوری هستند. معمولاً ماژیک هاشورها در نوع ضدآب تولید و عرضه میشوند. سری آنها دندانهدار با امکان ایجاد خطوط ظریف و باریک شبیه میکروبیلدینگ هستند. مغزی آنها بسیار نرم است و مانع از ریختن ابرو در اثر استفاده مکرر میشود. به دلیل ساختار پیچشی که دارند، نیازی به تراشیدن این نوع مداد ابرو نیست. مداد ابروی مناسب با مدل و رنگ مو بهطورکلی رنگ مداد ابرو به رنگ موی طبیعی نزدیک است. پس برای طبیعی نشاندادن رنگ ابروها، باید رنگ مداد ابرو را با رنگ موی خود هماهنگ انتخاب کنید. مطمئناً با تطبیق و هماهنگسازی رنگ مداد ابرو و رنگ مو، شگفتانگیز به نظر خواهید آمد. اما چگونه رنگ مداد ابروی خود را با رنگ موی طبیعی ست کنیم؟ در ادامه به این موارد به طور جداگانه اشاره میکنیم. موهای طبیعی سیاه و تیره اگر با یک مداد ابرو سیاه، غیرطبیعی و ناخوشایند به نظر میرسید، بهتر است از مداد ابروی هاشوری قهوهای تیره کمک بگیرید. مداد هاشوری جلوه طبیعی به ابروهای شما میدهد. اگر پوست نسبتاً روشنی دارید، مداد ابروی قهوهای تیره برای شما خارقالعاده خواهد بود. سپس با یک مداد ابروی مشکی رنگ، بسیار ظریف و سبک جاهای خالی ابروی خود را پرکنید. موهای طبیعی قهوهای مداد ابروی روشنتر از رنگ ابروی شما، مناسبترین محصول برای موهای طبیعی قهوهای است. زیرا چربی موجود در پوست صورت، رنگدانهها را اکسیده میکند و ابروها را تیرهتر از حالت طبیعی خود نشان میدهد. رنگ موی بلوند افرادی با موهای بلوند، اگر پوست تن آنها سبزه یا تیره است، یک مداد ابروی قهوهای تیره به میزان قابلتوجهی زیباییشان را نمایان میسازد. البته به یک مداد ابروی ملایم اکتفا کنید. توجه داشته باشید مداد ابروی قهوهای روشن، روی پوست اینگونه افراد کمرنگ میشود. ترکیب رنگ موی شرابی با رنگ موی تند تطبیق دادن این نوع رنگ مو با یک رنگ مداد ابروی مناسب بسیار چالشبرانگیز است. در چنین مواقعی یک مداد ابروی قهوهای کمرنگ تحولی شگرف در زیبایی شما میگذارد. به طور معمول موهایی که با رنگهای تند و جیغ ترکیب شدهاند، یک مداد قهوهای تیره تأثیر جادویی در جلوهدادن زیبایی آنها خواهد داشت. موهای قهوهای بر اساس درجه و شدت پررنگ و کمرنگ بودن رنگ قهوهای موهای خود، مداد ابروی روشنتر انتخاب کنید. یک یا دو درجه روشنتر از رنگ مو، پیشنهاد ایدهآل ما برای افرادی با موهای قهوهای است. موهای قرمز انتخاب رنگ مداد ابرو مناسب موهای قرمز بسیار دشوار است. شاید دلیل آن هم کم بودن تعداد افراد با موهای قرمز است. اما اگر رنگ موهای خود را قرمز زدهاید یا جز اقلیت افراد با موهای قرمز هستید، ما به شما در انتخاب بهترین مداد ابرو کمک کنیم. افرادی با موهای قرمز، مداد ابروی با رنگهای گرم آنها را جذاب نشان میدهد. انتخاب یک مداد ابروی هاشوری تیره تأثیر چشمگیری در ایجاد ترکیب و زیبایی موهای قرمز بلوند توتفرنگی، بلوند طلایی و رنگهایی ازایندست خواهد داشت. موهای سیاه استفاده از یک مدادی ابرو با رنگ قهوهای یا رنگ خنک متوسط بهترین پیشنهاد برای افرادی با موهای سیاه است. افرادی که مایل به تیره شدن ابروهای خود هستند، یک مداد ابروی قهوهای تیره برای آنها مناسب خواهد بود. منبع: مداد ابرو خوب چی بخرم؟

Subdirectory site / 301 Redirects / Google Search Console
Hi There, I'm a web developer working on an existing WordPress site (Site #1) that has 900 blog posts accessible from this URL structure: www.site-1.com/title-of-the-post We've built a new website for their content (Site #2) and programmatically moved all blog posts to the second website. Here is the URL structure: www.site-1.com/site-2/title-of-the-post Site #1 will remain as a normal company site without a blog, and Site #2 will act as an online content membership platform. The original 900 posts have great link juice that we, of course, would like to maintain. We've already set up 301 redirects that take care of this process. (ie. the original post gets redirected to the same URL slug with '/site-2/' added. My questions: Do you have a recommendation about how to best handle this second website in Google Search Console? Do we submit this second website as an additional property in GSC? (which shares the same top-level-domain as the original) Currently, the sitemap.xml submitted to Google Search Console has all 900 blog posts with the old URLs. Is there any benefit / drawback to submitting another sitemap.xml from the new website which has all the same blog posts at the new URL. Your guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
