Can we 301 redirect to a new page, but still publish the old content somewhere else?
- by KBS
We have a page on the site which ranks well for an SEO term (top 5) but contains old information. We have added a new page but Google doesn't rank it that well. Information on these pages is time sensitive.
Old: example.com/2013-related-information.html
New: example.com/2014-related-information.html
Obvious solution is to delete old page and do a 301 redirect to the new page.
Now, can we still keep the old page by giving it a new URL.
example.com/2013-related-information.html is redirected to example.com/2014-related-information.html
example.com/2014-related-information.html is recreated with a new address such as
example.com/new-2013-related-information.html
What we are trying to do is to send the user to the fresh page but still not destroying the record copy if someone wants to go and dig up the old information.
