Do I need to glue the old domain with the new site?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

Good afternoon,
tell me if it's worth gluing an old-dead site with 500 ticks to a 2-year-old site,
while removing all the content of the old site and redirecting to the main page of the new one. Topics are the same, the old site is still in JAK DMOZ. Will it negatively affect the new site?
Or maybe just put a stub on all pages with a link to a new one?

Answer 1

I would not do gluing if I were you, especially in the current conditions.
Previously, search engines were, in my opinion, very simple - trusts / titles / prs were transferred very simply.
Now the search engines will sniff at these things for a long time.
It would be if you have 2 good, white, visited sites - then it seems normal, and then everything needs to be done very carefully.
And so - the meaning (exhaust), I think there will not be much. It is better to develop one site that, in your opinion, is better perceived by the search engine. Indicators like DMOZ, as I understand it, do not play a special effect now.
What matters now (again, based on my experience):
1) high-quality, unique, voluminous articles (more than 4000 characters) with good content (which already implies good behavioral factors, social network signals, backlinks, etc.).
2) Very high quality links from good, trusted sites (it's better to have 3-7 links than 5000 left).
In general, something like this.

Answer 2

What are the positions of the old site? If there is traffic that you do not want to lose and it is desirable to redirect to a new site? Are there any filters on the old site?
If the visibility of the old resource is great, which I doubt it is, then a page-by-page 301 redirect is not such a bad idea for promoting a new site.
If the old site has nothing to brag about, except for "TICs" and "catalogs", you can still glue it together, but this will be of little or no use to SEO.
