I've been following a thread at Google Webmaster Help where a webmaster said he migrated his site from one domain to another, followed the moving site instructions Google has laid out for webmasters exactly and almost two months later still doesn't have the rankings the old site had on the old domain.

The site migrated from NutsOnline.com to Nuts.com, the webmaster said:

On January 6th, we submitted a change of address for http://www.nutsonline.com to nuts.com. We followed everything to the T. 301s, change of address in webmaster tools, and even tried to consolidate old indexed pages with rel=canonical and redirects.

Yea, this is a large site and it will take time, but Googler John Mueller chimed in with his somewhat disappointment in Google taking this long to pick up the new site. John wrote:

I'm sorry to hear that it's been this frustrating for your site. We worked hard to make our systems as fast and as pain-free as possible when it comes to site moves, so it's particularly frustrating for us to see situations where algorithmic fluctuations from such a change last longer than we'd want. Looking into your site, the issues you're seeing are very likely to settle down over time, as our algorithms get used to the new content and are able to migrate all associated signals properly.

He basically said, yea - you did everything right but Google's algorithms were in flux causing a slow down in the migration time. At least that is how I read it.

Maybe more interesting is the comment he made about "over time, as our algorithms get used to the new content and are able to migrate all associated signals properly." So no, 301 redirects do not lead to immediate ranking signal migration from the origin URL to the destination URL.

Alistair Lattimore who has been in correspondence with me on this thread felt that you can look into his comment as saying, a " 301 redirect doesn't magically transfer all ranking data over to the new domain/URLs, such as Google Panda signals as an example."

I hope the webmaster keeps us posted on the migration status.

Bizwaremagic.com, a 10 year old web marketing site, adds new content on increasing web traffic numbers.

(PRWEB) February 23, 2012

Recently, new Internet marketing content was added to Bizwaremagic.com, a 10 year old Internet Marketing and small business resource site. The majority of this new material deals with the whole issue of how to obtain more traffic on the web for one's site or business. Improving the number of targeted visitors a site receives is often stated as the major key to succeeding on the net, mainly because without a constant flow of targeted traffic, a site is relatively dead in the water.

As a solution to this problem, one of these new web pages, is entitled: "10 Ways To Make Your Site More Visible On The Web" and examines 10 different ways to make any web site more visible and increase traffic. While most site owners and webmasters have formerly turned to the search engines for traffic, the dynamic makeup of today's web, demands much more involvement on the part of the webmaster, especially when it comes to the social bookmarking sites.

"Web marketing has changed significantly in the last few years," says Titus Hoskins, a full-time search engine marketer. "While search engines like Google are still important, any online marketer not taking full advantage of social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Linkedin, YouTube... is missing the boat when it comes to marketing on today's web."

Personal search is leading the way in these changes, just the fact that Google is now showing Google+ profiles and posts in search results when a surfer is logged into their G account, makes a big difference in how one should approach these social networks. Along with personal search, video marketing is becoming increasingly important and another great source of targeted web traffic.

All of these methods are discussed in the new web pages on Bizwaremagic.com, such as "How To Quintuple Your Content's Traffic!" which looks at 5 different ways a webmaster can quintuple the traffic to any piece of web content. Simple methods any webmaster or site owner can use to increase targeted traffic.

In addition, all this new content, is fully supported by free marketing courses, guides, videos and other marketing resources offered on the Bizwaremagic site. Visitors can even download a free Perpetual eCalendar to keep track of all one's appointments, events and anniversaries.

About Us:

Founded in 2002, Bizwaremagic.com is an Internet Marketing website, dealing with all aspects of running an online business. It has been fairly successful, welcoming millions of visitors and selling millions in affiliate products, mainly through major affiliate networks such as Commission Junction, LinkShare, ClickBank and Google.

New "How To Increase Traffic" Internet Marketing Content Added to Bizwaremagic.com

Recognizing that healthier employees make happier and more productive employees, Blue Corona, a Maryland Inbound Internet Marketing Firm, is making the switch from traditional desks to treadmill workstations.

Gaithersburg, Maryland (PRWEB) February 22, 2012

Inbound internet marketing firm, Blue Corona, is offering employees a unique opportunity - the chance to exercise and work at the same time! Blue Corona, a Maryland SEO company, is offering employees the option of using treadmill "walk" stations instead of traditional desks. The move comes after President, Ben Landers, made the switch.

"I absolutely love my treadmill workstation. I only wish I had made the switch earlier. On an average day, I end up walking 6-8 miles which is really great because working 60-80 plus hour weeks doesn't leave much time outside of work to exercise," said Landers.

According to the Mayo Clinic, "walking is a low impact exercise with numerous health benefits." It can lower LDL cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol), raise HDL cholesterol ("good" cholesterol), lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of diabetes, elevate employee moods and more.

"Our employees ARE the lifeblood of our business. Walk stations give us a way to improve our staff's health and well-being while increasing our productivity - something our clients are sure to appreciate," said Landers.
