How it affects to use 301 redirection with new domain?

[Evan_Jose]

Hey Webmasters,
I have a query regarding to use 301 redirection. I want to know that If I have a website1 like a blogging website with 100 of live articles on it, then if i use 301 redirection and want to move the main blog page (that consists those 100 live articles) on to a different newly launched domain(website2), So, how much it affects the website1 and website2 ranking? And what causes can be occured?

the main blog page (that consists those 100 live articles)

I would first be curious as to how 100 articles on a single page would be of very much value. Not impossible but certainly unusual. Text only? Takes 10 minutes to fully load? Either case would not suggest a good UX.

I think I am misunderstanding the plan. This single page has links to the 100 articles, not the actual articles? So the plan is to change the domain name, migrate to a new domain? If the content of website1 is to be permanently redirected to website2 then website1 will not be indexed and website2 will be crawled and indexed on its merits. I am sure I am missing the goal here. Any content that is redirected can no longer be crawled, cannot rank on website1 - that is certain. IF it is properly redirected it would land on the same content on website2. IF it is NOT properly redirected it would not land on the same content on website2 but it would land instead on some unrelated content? What is the goal?

It would help to know the purpose of this plan, to assist you with whether or not it might help or hurt your goals.

It might help you to read through a recent discussion on this topic: [webmasterworld.com...]

This could help about why the purpose of the redirection can assist others in understanding the question. Not all redirects are a good idea and not all of them are a bad idea.

If I’m understanding this: There is a website with various stuff on it. You want to move some of that stuff to a new domain, with page-for-page redirects of the moved material.

Is that what’s going on?

I think @lucy24 can understand this. Again i explain the whole topic what i need to do: I have a website that contains a blog page(blogdotwebsite1dotcom) containing 100 live article's links published on the same website(website1dotcom) in the same page(i.e., blog page (blogdotwebsite1dotcom)) and i want to move the whole content of the same website's blog page(blogdotwebsite1dotcom) to a new website(website2.com) using 301 redirection. So i know the procedure how can i do it but the main problem is that i want to know, "Is It affects the seo ranking of my website?" If yes, then please tell how and how much?

Please reply anyone, it's urgent.

For a better answer you might want to rephrase your situation. After reading your text a few times I still don't understand if you want to move the contents of one page or the contents of a whole site, and if the page you are talking about contains links, articles or both.

Basically, Google discounts signals somewhat when they pass a 301 redirection, so you should keep the sequence of 301 redirections as short as possible.

As asked earlier here:

The situation as described is not clear and yes, it makes a difference as to whether it is a good idea or not. Until the picture is clear it is anyone's guess as to whether it would help or hurt your plan.

Evan_Jose, is your current situation this:

You do NOT have 100 articles on ONE page?

You have:

Blog with 100 separate articles on 100 pages, the main page links to each single page?

You want to 301 currentblog.com/article1.html to

example.com/article1.html

Even with all possible information, the answer may still be: I dunno, it depends. When there are significant changes in URLs, you can expect things to be reassessed, re-evaluated, re-analyzed to some extent. A search engine wouldn’t be much good if it didn’t keep updating based on new information. Ultimately you might end up a little better off; you might end up a little worse off. It depends.

think about whether the split into two domains would be better for the site itself. Or the sites themselves. Seven-plus years ago I separated my “real” site from my personal site. I don’t know if today’s traffic is better, worse or about the same* than it would be if I had kept everything on the same site; I just know it feels right for me.
