: 301 redirection from thousands pages to single I have a tech blog (CCTLD) running from 9 years with thousands of pages (including tags and categories) and i no longer want to continue that
I have a tech blog (CCTLD) running from 9 years with thousands of pages (including tags and categories) and i no longer want to continue that blog. And want to get benefit of its SEO value.
Now i have a another website (.com) which is a single page layout for my business.
I am thinking to redirect that blog which has almost similar keywords and thousands of organic link juice to my single business page.
My question - is it ok to use wildcard 301 redirection to redirect those thousands of pages to my new single page website?
I know in terms of user experience, it's not a good practice but there is no use of keeping that site alive any more. Better i can get some link juice for my business and which might help in SEO in a long run.
Also, i can't create hundreds of pages just for the shake of user experience and SEO and redirect each of them to my new business. That won't be relevant to my business.
Just want to hear SEO experts opinion in this situation.

301 redirection is a suggested method if you have almost similar content on the page you are redirecting to. Otherwise google penalizes that and considers that a soft 404, where-in the site is misleading the users.
So you can redirect some urls i.e. apple-to-apple mapping, but don't redirect everything to a single home page. Rather add a 410 permanently discontinued status on those pages.
Redirecting lot of pages which is having good SEO value to a single page website may not be a good idea. Consequently you lose SEO value for the old website. IMO Just use the website for advertising purpose of new website. Place a good banner. Offer something..
