A Shout Out To My Web Saavy Readers
Feb 2nd, 2007 by Jennifer Lynn
Hi guys, it’s about that time I’ve been anxiously anticipating. Broke-Ass Student will be moving to her new home this weekend. I want to have this project completed as soon as possible.
If anyone has experience with building a website/webhosting/domain transferring - I’d love to hear from you! I’m still computer illiterate and kind of going at this blindly right now. You’ll definitely have an eager pupil who’s ready to learn how to most efficiently tackle this project. Right now I have a domain parked with GoDaddy, and am looking into a basic DreamHost package.
I also have some concerns how this transfer will affect my search engine rankings. My objective is to keep my Typepad account open an extra month after my new site goes live, just to properly redirect traffic to the new domain. But since I’m planning on taking all of my old content and archives to my new home, I’m not sure how Google will like this.
If anyone feels they can help this poor newb make this transition as seamless as possible, please let me know. I’m all ready brimming with questions.
=^..^=
Yay you moved your site to your new domain! Congrats!
I had to update my feed but no biggie!
How do you like your new home? Your rank will reflect the new domain so it’s almost like having to start from scratch, but with your content etc you should move without any problem!
This might be a little late but if typepad allows you to do a 301 redirect.. you shouldn’t lose any PR or traffic at all. Did you do that?
