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 toexample.com/2014-related-information.html
example.com/2014-related-information.html
is recreated with a new address such asexample.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.
