Moving subdomain/folder to the New Site

[tomovuk]

I started selling scripts on my site and I achieved good seo results, but my main issue in back of my head was that I really needed new site where I will do this in little bit more organized fashion.

So I am moving to new site www. cleanscripts.com and I want to transfer all content from my old site www. webinsane.com/script to this new without any rank site. What should I? Just 301 redirect my script folder from old site to the new site.

Will I get into problems of duplicate content?

I am getting good results in Google right now and I don't want to lose that but I need new site to operate on more professional level. In addition, I have shopping cart, which has descriptions of these scripts inside of shopping cart. This creates duplicate content and how can I avoid this without writing new content for shopping cart descriptions of the script products.

If I leave everything as it is right now and just open new site and leave links pointing to new site from each script page you think that would be better then redirecting (should I also leave link from new site to old site). I mean it is still dupe content. I will arrange different IP for my new site.


Muchous Thankious in advance...

If you 301 your old folder pages to the new domain pages, you won't have a problem with duplicate content. You may, however, experience a loss of traffic for a period of time while Google et al sort things out.

If you leave the pages up at the current site with prominent links to the new location, you have a dilemma. If you leave the current content up, then you will indeed have a duplicate content issue and it will be tough for your new site to rank. If you remove the content and put up pages that just tell people to visit the new site, then the pages will lose their ranking as they get respidered. The only thing that might keep traffic flowing would be to replace the current site pages with other content pages that wouldn't duplicate the new site pages but would continue to rank well for the same terms. Pulling that off could be kind of tricky.

If it were my site, I'd set up the new domain, 301 the old pages to the same pages on the new domain, and start promoting the new domain with good keyword linkage. Even if you experience an interruption in traffic, it should be relatively short and you'll be creating a stronger presence for the future.

No, You will not get any problem based on duplicate content because You are trying to shift permanently from one page to another using 301 redirect.
