Below is a summary of the contents of Season 2 Episode 5. Although some parts have been omitted or paraphrased, I have tried to summarize them so that the main meaning is not lost. Image URL redirection when changing domain Mr. Gabe: I once supported a large-scale e-commerce site, and there was a case where the URL of the image file was not redirected when the site was moved. After that, I wrote an article called ``Don't forget to redirect images.'' Mr. Splitt: Visual content is very important! Mr. Gabe: It's very important. We recommend setting up 301 redirects for all image URLs, and waiting a while if it seems like it's taking a while to update the image index. Split: That's right. If you check the logs of the old server and determine that the number of traffic and crawls, including images, has decreased enough, you can close the old domain.
Does changing the domain or relocating the site always telephone number list result in a drop in traffic? Mr. Gabe: The most common misconception is that traffic always drops when changing a domain name or moving a site. Mr. Splitt: It depends on the situation. Webmasters often don't understand what a site move is. If you simply move from one domain to another and the URL structure or content doesn't change at all, you probably won't experience a drop in traffic. The inflow to the old domain decreases and the inflow to the new domain increases, but the overall inflow does not decrease. If the transfer had been carried out smoothly, the number of inflows should not have decreased even temporarily, but the number of inflows should have simply been switched from the old domain to the new domain. Purchasing a domain with history Mr. Gabe: When it comes to changing domain names, we have seen cases where the process was smooth and the traffic increased even more over time.
However, as you say, it really depends on the situation, and in an unusual case, I've seen a site where traffic suddenly decreased by 70% three days after release. Does the history of the domain come into play in cases like this? For example, if you purchase a domain to transfer to, the history of that domain may have an effect. Mr. Splitt: The cause of most inflow declines is not the history of the domain. However, history may have some influence, especially if you purchased a domain that has been used for spam and then immediately switched domains. To avoid such unwanted issues, it's a good idea to configure Search Console to monitor your new domain in advance. Another possible cause is that when the site was moved, other changes were made in addition to the domain name change, and something went wrong during that process. When Google crawls a new domain, it may need to crawl several times to evaluate the content if it notices that the old and new content has changed rather than a simple domain name change.
