How to move your Blog to a new Domain

Move your Blog in a Search Engine efficient - and Customer friendly way

It may happen that you wish to move your WordPress blog to a new domain, for example from ‘yourdomain.com/blog’ to ‘myblog.com’.

Make sure you readership will not suffer from the change; inform your readers and make sure the feeds contain corresponding information to allow a shift to the new feeds.

In as much as Search Engines are concerned, it is necessary to clearly instruct robots to go and crawl your new site while stopping to crawl the previous domain. You want to preserve your listings and continue to profit from the work you have put into publishing and building an avtive readership.

In simple terms, we first prevent Robots to access our new domain. Then we move the data base containing our articles, categories, tags and other content. Now we install the new blog using the same settings as on the previous one.

We need now to modify all links which contained an element mentioning the old domain. This can be done easily with a Search and Replace plugin.

When everything is working you allow robots to crawl your new domain and you reirect the previous one to the new URI.

A detailed instruction in 10 steps can be found on Joost de Valk’s site.

    Building Free Traffic to your blog

    Free Traffic is everywhere

    There are many ways to drive free traffic to your blog apart from using traffic exchanges, safelists, blasters and the like.

    A blog is like a web site, it does need exposure and it needs traffic: loads of it! You must actively promote your blog to build up traffic to your blog. Sending a mail to your list announcing  your new blog is a good place to start.

    Here are just a few of the many tips to get readers and traffic to your blog.

    1. Headlines:
    Just like a website, your blog needs to provide its readers with information they want to read. Good headlines will attract visitors, the headline is the first point of contact, so spend time on that; and of course the content matters too. Publish good content on a regular basis.

    2.Optimised for search engines:
    Make sure your post is optimised for search engines. When you write, think of the keywords, the primary keyword should be part of the title; the secondary in the body of your post, and don't forget the anchor text, here it is best not to use more than two, more can be considered as spam. Categorise and tag your posts to get the best results.

    3.Pings:
    If your blog set up is correct you will allow pings. There are quite a few services out there today specifically designed to connect blogs. One of the most popular to use is Pingomatic, but there are many others like Technorati. [First you must sign up with these and add your blog] When you write and publish your post this service sends out a ping alert to say you have updated your blog and then indexes your post according to tags; hence tagging correctly is so important.

    4.Directories & Feeds:
    Add you blog to to directories to give greater exposure. When setting up your blog set up an RSS feed. Both blog and feed can be added to directories. There are many and varied directories out there but one of the favourites is Blogcatalog. Good places to maybe make friends, pick up a few tips and exchange links.

    5.Forums:
    Join some of the many Forums and use a Forum signature including a link to your Blog. Add your comments and observations to posts, be helpful to others in the forum, then they will consider you to be an expert and more likely to visit your blog. More free traffic. Of course, never spam just to get link backs, this will just get your membership deleted.

    6.Blogroll:
    use this to add other blogs in your niche to your blogroll. This cross linking gives you an added edge and may result in added visitors and readers.

    7.Comments:
    Add you comments to other blogs, make your comments useful and perhaps start a discussion. Its surprising what you can learn that way too. Once you have built a bit of traffic to your blog allow comments to build up interaction. There are various plugins out there to help you increase your comments and ways to organise them.

    8.Trackbacks:
    A way to link back to other blogs that allow trackbacks. A good way to build up free traffic to your blog. Its a good idea to first leave a comment on the other blog then add a trackback in your post.

    These are just a few tips, however you can learn more about blogging and traffic by joining the Daily Info Calls or participating in a monthly online live seminar and workshop.

    Would you like to build a Small Business Online?

     

    Amongst the many scams on the Internet, where do you look to find something of REAL substance and value to you? A Home Business that feeds your family based on reasonable input an expectations?

     

    First and foremost it’s about YOU!

    YES! It’s correct and about the smartest thing to do right now during the current economic crisis: start and build your OWN Small Business on the Internet. It’s the way you can get out from down-under the fastest as your country is behind you, it’s the way forward and upward again not only for you but many others in the same situation, meaning where a supplemental income needs to be earned, more money needs to be made to put butter on your bread. You are thinking along the right lines, you are doing the right thing.

    The fact is that during tough times like these the WORK AT HOME Industry booms.

    Did you notice?

    I did not speak about which company or program you should associate yourself with. What I did was focusing on YOU and putting YOU into a PICTURE, meaning the situation or environment around you.

    You can think doom and gloom or… there’s only one way now: upward! Where, how fast and with which results depends on YOU, your DESIRE and your ATTITUDE.

    So what’s needed now? Where do you go? What do you focus on? How do you start?

    You start with YOU and YOURSELF!

    At the end of the day, that’s the only person you know - at least more or less - and who you can count on. You won’t disappear or run away from yourself… which is already a good thing taking into account of what does disappear these days )

    But sometimes it’s good to get rid of unnecessary baggage that pulls us down or even immobilizes us! Sometimes it’s good that we are being kicked into discovering what we have within ourselves, what we need to ‘clean out’ and what we can build on. What we don’t learn in love… we learn in pain.

    The good news is: we’ll get over it.

    So what’s your WHY for starting a Networking Business on the Internet?

    These days you don’t need to dig deep to find the reasons for your need, meaning the underlying WHY for starting a Small Business or Home Business on the Internet. It’s pretty clear - we are all in the same boat. We need extra cash, we need to earn extra income, we need to make money - NOW…

    But that’s not where it ends, right?

    Fact is, that everything we built on, depended on, everything we gave OUR PERSONAL POWER AND CONTROL to failed, betrayed us, scammed us out there in the REAL WORLD - did you ever see it THIS way? Well… most played the game and with so many living "on credit" it was a bubble expanding towards bursting - that was inevitable and written and spoken about since years. So no use blaming anyone… but:

    Time for a new Beginning for YOU!

    What do YOU want?

    If you are as most people are, you don’t REALLY care about having glitzy toys, a helicopter or an island… what you desperately want is to secure your financial future. You want to generate a continuous stream of income that…

    • takes away the fear of not having ‘enough’ left at the end of the month,
    • takes away the fear of losing your home,
    • that lets you spend time with your kids and loved ones or
    • doing what you REALLY want,
    • that allows you to enjoy Hobbies, Sports, Nature .and LIFE!

    And wouldn’t it be fantastic to have that Passive Income - or Residual Income - the true fruit YOU will reap one day based on the work, effort, and determination you put in NOW?

    Yes! That’s what YOU want - we are all humans, we are ready to roll up sleeves and work hard IF it’s for our families, our loved ones… if it’s to have a cosy home, a happy family, if it’s for… our REAL VALUES in life: PEOPLE WE LOVE AND CARE FOR.

    Yes! We are prepared to give a part of this away to the needy! Yes! We like to share - but we can only give away what we have in the first place. Words are welcome but cheap… they don’t cost us much and many important words are being said without intent, without the heart, the soul shining through them.

    However, if you have a piece of bread you can share it - and being able to do that makes YOU feel wonderful. However… what do you do if you don’t have a piece of bread in the first place? See what I mean?

    So to be of VALUE to those around you and the wider world, YOU have to BECOME someone of VALUE first.

    VALUE in this case means that YOU stand out.

    It means that YOU lead by example by not waiting for anyone "out there" to help, decide for you, take you by the hand, chase you in one direction or another - but that YOU take control of YOUR Life.

    YOU DECIDE! YOU FOCUS! YOU ACT!

    YOU know what you need and you set a clear GOAL for getting there. YOU are determined to get there and YOU know YOU CAN!

    YOU are determined to identify - within yourself - what kept you back before and inhibited you from following your inner Knowing; now release it and TRUST that if YOU go out with a clear message, the Universe will help you in many ways. But YOU have to define the VISION you have for yourself first… This VISION and your consistent ACTION on it will Attract the right energies to support and guide you.

    YES! It depends on YOUR willingness to do what it takes to realize that VISION - but if YOU do, it’s just a matter of time…  you will succeed!

    IMAGINE who YOU will become during that magic journey.

    IMAGINE who YOU will be once you arrive!

    YES! It’s essential to invest in expanding your Knowledge and Skills.

    YES! You will succeed faster - much faster - if following a PROVEN ROADMAP as part of a successful, bonded Team.

    But that’s exactly the point… I know! With so many hyped sites out there:

    Where would you find such a Team?

    Here’s what you should do:

    Go look around - without spending a dime - and see what resonates. Trust your Inner Guidance and use Common Sense. As you would check a company you want to work with in the offline environment, investigate who you want to work with online… GO TO GOOGLE AND LOOK THEM UP :

    • Are they visible on GOOGLE?
    • Are there names, contact details? Or is that hidden?
    • Who are the owners and/or leaders behind?
    • What’s their Mission?
    • Are they independent?
    • Are they reachable?
    • Are they available for answering questions?
    • Do they have regular Team Meetings where you can network?
    • Are there monthly Seminars - ONLINE and LIVE with interaction?
    • Are there Team Members guiding you in your setup?
    • Do they share their Knowledge?
    • Do they allow you to upgrade to PRO levels?
    • Are they FUN?

    Don’t spend a dime for hype and empty promises, really look what’s behind. But yes: YOU need to do this; it won’t fall from the sky right into your lap. That’s your part of the deal, your responsibility. You need to do your due diligence - and if you are satisfied with what you find, if it feels right, if you get the response you trigger - then your Attitude MUST be that of a PRO.

    Having a PRO attitude separates you from the tyre kickers and those only interested in the so-called ‘free rides’ in a world where everything has a price.

    Think about it: the terrible credit bubble burst as it was built on the absurdity of "free rides" too. Someone always pays… so free yourself of that misconception and think VALUE and pay for VALUE only. After all, YOU want to become a business owner of VALUE yourself and you want to GET PAID.

    If you don’t live it yourself, you attract the wrong elements.

    You want an example of where you could start?

    Take YORGOO. Start with YORGOO!

    You will find all you need - and you can start for Free.

    No third party advertising in YORGOO - you just focus on setting it up properly and according to instructions and being in contact with your upline or attending daily trainings at NO COST - and then follow the Daily Tasks.

    YORGOO is completely risk-free.

    So get all the information you need and UPGRADE TO PRO at 9.95$ a month.
    Take note that there’s no person out there on the entire Internet that ever succeded without being a PRO. So just forget your aspirations thinking you can get there for free. Forget living on Credit. Have a PRO attitude.

    As a PRO, your YORGOO Downline is your personal network and grows through YOUR ACTION as outlined in the DAILY TASKS - see an example HERE.

    Back to YOU building a profitable Work at Home Business Online

    What you need to understand is that your focus is not on any company or program or product - but on YOU as an independent Home Business Owner.

    YOU are NOT Herbalife or DubLi or Coca Cola or Microsoft for that matter.
    YOU are YOU.com - and you promote products or the business opportunity of one or several other companies under your main umbrella, eg. Ecommerce or whatever it may be. You want to generate multiple streams of income… so you start with one, bring it into profit… and then - if you want - add the next income stream. But start with one - after careful consideration.

    Is it an Internet Business - or a low-tech biz?

    Here already you will see what to go for and what to exclude in your choices and each Dublicator Seminar is equipping you with the necessary Knowledge, Tools and Strategies to grow and control YOUR BUSINESS, whatever it may be.

    The same basic principles apply to all enterprises… so online it’s no different than in the normal offline world.

    The question is WHO teaches you HOW to be successful ONLINE?

    YORGOO-YCADEMY-DUBLICATOR does and has the Online Professionals to proove it!

    It’s real simple:

    Your BUSINESS PLAN defined what YOUR HOME BUSINESS is and which step-by-step GOALS you need to follow and achieve.

    As such, you may have decided to get into Ecommerce and Online Auctions by buying a DubLi Business License and building a DubLi Network.

    Your Business is not Dubli - your Business is YOU.com and DubLi Online Trading is part of YOUR PLAN to make money online. It’s clearly defined: you are Independent - and it’s good you are! For a fraction of the cost you can integrate and work the aspects that make YOU money without the extreme overheads and risks each company has, especially when starting up! Clearly, DubLi has invested MILLIONS of Euros already… and when going to the London Stock Exchange DubLi will raise more Millions… and all this doesn’t cost you a dime… while as a DubLi Business Associate you can buy DubLi Shares and make a fortune if DubLi realizes its potential and becomes what has been said: "Wallmart of Steroids"… well, just IMAGINE it will!

    You missed Microsoft… You missed Ebay… and you decided not to miss a ’second chance’ called DubLi.

    What can you lose?

    Nothing really. You may see it as the price of a Business License… which is absolutely peanuts in business terms… PLUS you get a generous amount of DubLi Credits that you can use in many ways… especially to SAVE YOU MONEY big time when buying BRAND products you need anyway.

    IMAGINE buying that laptop you need anyway @ 30% discount or more?

    See what I mean?

     

    What do you WIN - whether DubLi becomes a success or not?

    Incredible experience, knowledge, skills - and the ability to build just ANY Business Online and - as part of the DubLicator Team - the clear VISION of continued success and growth of that YOU.com that will soon occupy top positions on Google…

    GET BACK YOUR INDEPENDENCE, the pride and satisfaction of having achieved things on your own, of not having to depend on others, of looking into your family’s eyes and saying: "I did it MY way!"

    Building your own Small Business Online together with the DubLicator Team puts YOU on the "Path to Profitability" - guaranteed.

     

    It starts with YORGOO.

    To attend this month’s Seminar, see if you still get a ticket - but try:
