Final request before I 301 redirect
-
I would like to ask that WP.com transfer any new followers of this blog to my new site, http://snazzylittlethings.com. What pitfalls or remaining items will there be? I have a lot of content on Pinterest that I am afraid might be lost in the transfer, but will users be directed to the correct POST once I redirect? Thanks
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
They will be redirected to the correct post. Followers in the reader can be moved over by staff once you have the Jetpack plugin installed.
-
Remember to make sure your Permalinks on your new site are set to match here, or the redirects will not go to the correct Post
-
Oh ok will check the permalinks then…I haven’t touched those on the new platform. I’m just doing everything wp.com says to do as a best practice. They charge $13 annually for the 301. What does that buy you?
-
For $ 13.– they send all traffic from your old site to your new site – they will change the address and put in your new domain name in the address and tell anyone that the URL has been moved permanently (301 redirect) – for one year – that will also help to train search engines that you have moved
-
It’s really only necessary for the first year. After that, presumably the links going to the old blog will have fallen off search engines.
