I have two sites:
www.example.dewww.main.com
www.main.com is English version of www.example.de which is in German. I want to keep only www.main.com. For the English version I will keep www.main.com, but for German I want to move it to www.main.com/de.
I am wondering what would be best solution for old www.example.de:
- Redirect everything from
www.example.detowww.main.com/deusing 301 redirect? - Redirect everything from
www.example.detowww.main.com/de/page-url-of-old-size.html? So each link actually get own address. Is that necessary or will Google realize where the page belongs on new site even if I redirect everything to home page? - Any other solution, maybe just set in Google webmaster tools the new domain or anything like that?
