New Domain not appearing in Google

    I recently changed my domain name from theaom.wordpress.com to pulseofmotion.wordpress.com. However, I have noticed a massive decrease in readership, especially noticing that google results from my page still link to theaom.wordpress.com, rather than the new address.

    Will google’s results eventually change the url to my new one, or is it possible to re-direct these pages from google eg.theaom.wordpress.com/2013/05/01/artist-spotlight-emma-hewitt/‎ to pulseofmotion.wordpress.com/2013/05/01/artist-spotlight-emma-hewitt/‎ ?

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

    yes – will take a while – not sure how long

    or is it possible to re-direct these pages from google eg.theaom.wordpress.com/2013/05/01/artist-spotlight-emma-hewitt/‎ to pulseofmotion

    yes if you still have the old blog name active (you did not delete it) you can buy a site redirect to send traffic from the old blog to the new blog – that will also help speed up search engines to learn your new blog

    Ah, shoot! So by disabling theaom.wordpress.com, there is now no way I can redirect it?
