Hey guys, I have Site A, it's ranking #3 for a 50k exact match, pulling big traffic, but I'm no longer going to be selling the product on the site. I now have Site B, selling a different product, very slightly related (bodybuilding niche, that's the ONLY thing in common). I don't see the point in just turning off the old site - I want to keep some of the link juice. It has a HEAP of High-PR backlinks .etc, It's PR3, and seems like a good candidate to 301. Here is my plan: 1. 301 Redirect to an article page on Site B, about Site A's Keyword. 2. Use a canonical tag on Site B's article page pointing to the Home Page, and have a snippet of info with Site A's keyword strategically placed on the home page (Like a 200-word snipper and a H3 tag). What are your thoughts? Is this worth doing? Should I perhaps just 301 directly to the home-page of Site B? Cheers guys.
Ahhh. Wouldn't be the best converting traffic - but hey, who wants to turn down traffic? What were the long-term effects? Did it gradually stop ranking for those terms? And was it easier to rank for your new target terms due to the link-juice?
