  I recently purchased a new domain changing my blog’s address from http://www.goonerdaily.wordpress.com to just http://www.goonerdaily.com.

  But in the three days I’ve effected this change, my traffic has reduced drastically and I’m having issues opening the blog from my phone’s browser.

  How can I mitigate this?

  Or is there something I’m not doing?

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

  Hi there,

  Changing your domain may affect your traffic. We automatically forward your previous domain (goonerdaily.wordpress.com) to your new domain, so that should help with search engines.

  A quick glance at your traffic, shows a repeating pattern. Since you purchased your domain, the pattern appears the same.

  I hope this helps.
