Redirecting Subdirectory to Root
After much debate and years of wasted link juice, I have decided to redirect my Perishable Press subdirectory to my root directory. That is, the directory perishablepress.com/press/ will now be directed (via 301) to perishablepress.com.
Hopefully this strategy will improve the usability of the site by preventing an essentially duplicate page from confusing visitors. That is, because the site is generated from within a subdirectory, the root subdirectory content is also served as the root page.
Hopefully, this will also funnel the subdomain’s link equity to the site root. That would be a good thing!
