    Hello.

    I want to move my 5 sites that are my main source of income from Adsense to a new server as they are growing...
    I was wondering if it will affect my earnings or anything.

    thank you.

    If done properly it will not affect it at all and
    you should not have any down time either.
    Simply ask the new server support to do
    the transfer for you and have all set before
    you change DNS

    Should not be a problem. Be sure that you move everything and fully test it before you make the DNS changes. I have done it many time with only minor problems. But this is a job where a little planning goes a long way.

    If done wrong, ranking/serps could drop..
    if serps/ranking drops, number of visitors drops
    if number of visitors drop, number of clicks drops
    if number of clicks drop, Adsense earnings to down..

    As already posted, the move, if done properly will not affect anything, and nobody will know the difference.. even if it doesnt go completly smoothly, and you have a day or so of downtime, there will be no long-term effect.

    I have done this once, a few months ago with no issues, and am planning to do it again in the next month or so with another site.. no biggie.

    one side effect that i DID have after the move: Once i moved from my shared host to my own dedicated server with much faster load times, traffic, CTR and earnings all increased dramatically!:eek:

    this is the procedure i followed few times .. worked very well with no issues ..

    Here is what you can do....

    setup new server , make a copy of the current site to new server , add new DNS Servers, change your domain to point to new DNS Server ...

    setup old site as read only and also you can provide direct Ip access to your new server if you have dedicated IP address... put the server move update on home page of old server site..

    complete domain Propagation takes up to 3 days ... so make sure your old server is up for at least 3 days .... that way you won't loose the traffic ....

    hope this helps..
