SEO and switching domains October 09, 2015, 04:18:19 am Hello! Does anyone have some experience with changing the domains and trying "move" google positions onto the new one? My studiocrimes domain is on first pages for 8+ phrases. As you know we're merging it into daydream.work, but the SEO side of carrying out that action is a mystery to me

Re: SEO and switching domains Reply #5 – October 09, 2015, 02:10:47 pm Yup, 301 redirect is the key. nodsBetter if you are able to redirect each page to the corresponding one on the new domain.

Re: SEO and switching domains Reply #7 – October 09, 2015, 06:35:21 pm I guess so. What I meant, actually, is that you should be sure to (for example) redirect "olddomain.tld/index.php?topic=123" to "newdomain.tld/index.php?topic=123" and not everything to "newdomain.tld/".
Re: SEO and switching domains Reply #8 – October 10, 2015, 05:10:16 am And that's how I read it It would be a good idea to do that for elkartestudio as well. Under premium phrases we're first in google, bing and yahoo I'll try to figure out how to do these redirections
Re: SEO and switching domains Reply #9 – October 10, 2015, 08:19:02 am I assume you want to merge the two forums?If so, the easiest way may be to use a php script sending a 301 header in order to do the redirect. So that you have only to write an array of from => to topic/message ids.
Re: SEO and switching domains Reply #10 – October 10, 2015, 10:41:02 am The plan is to switch studiocrimes to daydream, and convert main forum to Elkarte. Then, after it's successful I would like to update daydream with elkartestudio positions and content.
Re: SEO and switching domains Reply #11 – October 10, 2015, 10:50:51 am What you have to do is, once you import content of ElkArte Studio to DayDream forum, simply use 301 redirect so that every old ElkArte Studio forum point to DayDream forum url with the same content.
