Great job as usual. I have a website that originally started as a woocommerce ecommerce site with just tons of products. But I saw the need to turn it into a blog instead with no need of the woocommerce product pages. But because of trying to do ecommerce I have about 23,000 pages of products, EAN, UPC and automatically generated woocommerce pages I dont need anymore. I want to create an updated website and Some of the category pages created will be 301 redirected to a new pages on my new site. But whats best to do with the 23000 pages? Redirect to my home page? No index? Which would be best for SEO?

I have 3000 posts on my blog and I am ranking and have sponsors. If I hire professionals is this all protocol? Will they make sure?

Thanks very nice Video I have one question If I change the website theme , will I lose SEO?

[@pridemechanical815]

You say don't worry about pages that aren't ranking for anything but when you migrate over to the new site aren't you going to lose the page existence time period of the page as a factor for seo?

[@reanitkhmer3325]

[@thegreenthinker8871]

Hi quick question. I have created a DEV site for my already #1 ranking website. I am busy following the steps laid out in your video. Once I am finished with the new DEV site, how do I update it so that it becomes my new site?

Hi Victor is this process still working after now 4 years? Or should I take other things in account aswel?

Great video! I just have a question since I'm currently in the talks of redesigning a client's website and we plan on keeping the same URLs. My question is: Once I'm ready to launch the new website, what happens to the URLs for the old website? Since I'm going to be using the same URLs, do I have to manually change each URL on the old site and then select the "discourage search engines from indexing" on the old site to keep it from being indexed? Thanks!

[@VictorThomas]

Hi @Jessica, Thanks for your comment. Step 1. is you want to make sure that the URL structure from your 'old' website is the same as the 'new' one. For any pages where that is not the case, you want to make sure there are redirects setup so that the 'old' link goes to the 'new' page. You can use the Redirection plugin in WordPress for this. Other than that there is nothing you need to do. The main thing you want to keep in mind is that the purpose of all of this is that you don't have any 'broken links' on your site. So that anyone who linked to your 'old' site will wind up on the same or similar page on the 'new' site.

@@VictorThomas Awesome thanks so much! I will share your video with my team as well :)

[@promotionenginemedia1299]

Thanks for the vid! What's about the pics? I've got tons of pics in the media, that rank good. They shouldn't not be used within the new design. Should i copy them in the media of the new site and redirect all the pic-links to new addresses?

[@KamlaKay]

Good question

[@cami_arch]

Hi, Thank you so much for your video, it's very helpful! I am starting a re-design project and the client's current website does not have SSL security. If I add SSL but keep the URL structure will the SEO be affected and do I have to set up 301 redirects anyway? another question would be: if they stop paying for their previous web host does their old website get taken down/not work anymore? -Thank you for your time!

[@VictorThomas]

Hi Camilla thanks for your comment! No, you don't need to setup redirects from HTTP to https on the URL string. That will take care of itself. If you stop paying for your host, yes, the site will be taken down. If the new site is hosted somewhere else and you have pointed the domain to that new host, then it's okay to let the old host expire. Thanks! Victor
