  Hi guys,
  Am not sure if this is the right place to ask this but does change in domain name affect SEO
  I recently upgraded from free to personal plan and also activated wordads. Somehow, i feel that this has affected my indexability by Google, can this be possible or did i do something wrong somewhere?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi @konvigilante, if you upgrade from free to personal and add a domain, the old domain will redirect to the new domain, so that shouldn’t be an issue.

  If you’re concerned, though, I’d recommend setting up Google’s Webmaster Tools so you can have a better look at what’s going on:

  Hoping this helps!
