I have a domainname that I first registered in April of this year. A few weeks after registering it with one registrar, I transferred it to a different registrar. I placed my website online on this domain in August. Now I would like to move it to a third registrar. Do you think that this will affect my young site's SEO?
Thanks for your reply but that's not really an answer to my question... My question is: Is it bad for SEO if you change to different registrars a lot?
Asfar my knowledge goes, I really don't think but maybe if you keep changing hosting too. Not sure though! Hope someone else got the precise answer to this.
I never heard or read that moving a domain name between different registrars has anything to do with SEO.
Actually moving to other host can be a problem if you downgrade your plan and your site responds slowly..
It should be OK.

Am a webmaster at a leading web design firm, and for the past 5 years we are doing some domain transfer from different parties and their domains ranking well in search engines now and had no issues related to SEO, and using good seo practices its ranking improved. Thus we can conclude that changing host or domain registrant doesnt make any changes in seo and serp.
you should be good to go by moving registrars. it shouldn't affect it in any way. now if you move to another hosting company, that's a different story.
I absolutely does not affect SEO or SERP rank. I've been doing it for years for many clients. The main thing Google looks at is the domain age... and that doesn't change when you transfer a domain to a new registrar... it simply transfers with it.
Hmm... curious. I'm just getting into purchasing aged domains, and one of the 'big tips' I keep hearing is not to change registrars after purchasing. Something to do with losing PR perhaps? Any thoughts? Cheers, CcK
