Back on November 29th, I told you all that I had a site that was undergoing a radical change. I can now give some details about that site.
I've owned donnafontenot.com for a while now, and it was mainly used to house my ColdFusion products that I had for sale, but it also consisted of a fair amount of personal stuff (pics, etc.). I've recently made the decision to stop selling the ColdFusion apps, and offer them up for free elsewhere. I also made the decision to start a new personal blog at my DazzlinDonna site, located at www.dazzlindonna.com/blog/. That site has consisted of only one page for a while now, and I decided to have a little more fun with it. I don't have a clear plan in my head for it yet, but I imagine it will consist mostly of the goofier side of life, rather than the business side of it.
So, I am now 301 redirecting my donnafontenot.com site over to the dazzlindonna site. The old ColdFusion products page is redirecting to a specific page on the blog, and the rest of the site is redirecting to the blog's home page. I'll be keeping track to see how rankings are affected and will share them here when I know more. When I find out how the SEO is affected, you will too.
Note that DNS may not have fully propogated everywhere in the world, so the redirect may not be working for everyone yet.
Good luck Donna. And it seems we will be running similar tests. As I am redesigning 14thC I am restructuring some of the content and will be using a bunch of 301s to merge articles and even to move one article to linker’s union. We’ll see how that goes!
There must be something in the air…. Good luck 🙂
Congratulations! At last we’ll have one more great blog to learn something.
Good job so far! I like SEO-Scoop and http://www.dazzlindonna.com/blog/…. Ahhhhhhh the wonders you find when researching backlinks 🙂
