Removing posts from old website and publish on a new one

[Catalingeangos]

Hi lads, i have a question regarding some posts. I have a general travel blog where i started publishing camping buying guides, which is related more or less to travel industry. I wanted to give it a try to see if i have any chances of ranking, and it seems it not. My plan is to create a microniche camping website and my question is, if i remove the camping posts from search console and delete them and then publish them on the new website, is this everything okay? The thing is these posts are really good and well made and i doubt i can do better than that, but they literally don't rank.
Is this okay, to publish the same articles on the 2nd website after removing from google index in the search console of the original website?
Thanks

In first place, why would you like to do this?

You can download all content as HTML and upload it on new server if it is.

Because a general travel blog won't rank that good vs a microniche website

If your travel blog already has reputation and you give good OBL to those camping pages, you should be ranking already if they are a well picked niche.

Otherwise, maybe you should consider the competition is too fierce that it's not worth.

If you care a lot about ranking on that niche, then it's time to start spending on incoming links, if you are so confident they are worthy.

But switching to what you call "a microniche" will not change it, unless you are looking to microsite, but on this case, this move won't benefit at all because you will be leaving too much of a footprint.

Even though, if you still want to do this for whatever other reason, simply use rel canonicals from the main site.to the new microniche site.

Thanks, i was thinking of using rel canonical. does this influence in any way the original website where I'm doing the canonical links? i suppose its not too okay to make canonical from a domain to another one?

True. rel="canonical" will be great.

On the other day I would have suggested to delete those pages/posts from old site and migrate to new one and apply 301 redirect, but if the pages/posts are many then it will not be ideal scenario for old website. Google doesn't like too many 301 redirects. Also immediately removing so many pages from a website will adversely affect its own ranking and traffic.

So rel="canonical" will be the only good option I see here.
