Switching Domain ( change of address ) will make my lose my SEO work?

Hello there guys,

I recently got an email from google saying that ad severing on my site has been disabled. I tried contacting them and all that Sh!t, but nothing worked, So the only solution is to move from mydomain.com to mydomain.co.uk

But now the problem is that mydomain.com is 1.5 years old and I have been working on SEO for a while. I have great ranking on some keywords, which makes me not to move on .co.uk, But then i saw a option on Google webmaster tools which helps you to make the changes easily.

So If i re-direct everthing from .com to .co.uk, and fill in the change of url form in google webmaster, will i lose my SERP and Links ? If yes, everything ? or just a little bit ?

What do u guys recommend. Please let me know if there are any extra opinions or advice, I need them badly

 

The best way is to do 301 redirect.

 

I am not an expert, but what I understood is the option of "changing address" with redirect is for websites that just want different domain but to keep all the work/ reputation. so using that keeps all your links and transfers your domain age and reputation to the new one

 

Great. So I will still have my SERPS and Back links..

 

The redirect is like changing your phone number and the phone company putting a recording on the line that says the number you have called has been changed, the new number is ....... and then forwarding you to the new number. No you do not keep your rankings in the serps. The new pages get their own ranking. Some times all that happens is the 2 addresses change places but don't be surprised with a drop either and don't keep doing what got your site banned from adsense.

 

I understand the new pages will ranked from starting, but the homepage as well.. ? I Just need the homepage ranking ://

 

in the .httaccess of your site write

#redirect from example.com to www.example.co.uk

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.co.uk [NC]

#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.co.uk/app$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain.com [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]


u can change yourdomain to your sites domain

 

Based on my experience, when we do the redirect to a new url our website lost some of
the traffic and rankings but after a few weeks of continues working for the site it
does come back and it even went up. So I really cannot say about your website.
Hope it helps

 

Well yea, i think we have to lose something to gain something, but i dont wanna lose everythin As long as i lose my rankings a little bit, m okay..but cant afford a 80% + drops in the serp and links.

 

This is the best way, or you could edit this to your filename.php - which is a 301 redirect code:

 

I did this,

#redirect from streamlivesports.com to http://www.streamlivesports.net

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^http://www.streamlivesports.net [NC]

#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.streamlivesports.net/app$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^streamlivesports.com [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ streamlivesports.net/$1 [L,R=301]


And it dint work..

Should i remove everthing else in the .htcacess file ? or should i add this along to the previous information ?

 

htaccess redirect will be the best to decrease chances
