How to get back Traffic to my forum?
 
Hi there, recently I had changed my 2 year old domain name to a new one. all most My forum is running fine but I lost my traffic from 3k daily visits to 1k. Also it has been effected adsense/google bots, baidu, bingbot etc... What might be the cause and what steps to be taken to boost up my forum's traffic?

I need your valuable help and advice in this regard.

Most of that traffic may have been crawlers.

Make sure your robots.txt is up-to-date.

It will take a few months for google to like you again.

Hi, this is what the code in my robots.txt file. Is there any other option to update it?

Did you 301 redirect all of the old domain traffic to the new domain?

crazyboy1661 09-21-2013 06:03 AM
No Zachery, I am not aware about that 301 redirect. can you guide me if possible? or any link for tutorial?

Hi, thanks for your reply. I have done it already. But I lost the traffic from search engines like google and bing, baidu etc... Before to dat there was 2-3k guest visits per day. But now it may be max 1k.

if all data is same except the domain , then u can redirect all traffic from old to new by putting / in the last

Generate one sitemap.xml from admincp

Submit it into google webmaster as soon as possible

and if u know any search enginer submission tool then do as well.

And wait for sometime all new domain are taking time to get indexed.

Good Luck for u.

Hm. :)

That's a little drastic but it should keep the well-behaved crawlers out of your forums.
