Moved your site to self hosting or from Blogspot’s to Wordpress’s online communities?
If so consider placing a redirect notice or final entry. After relocating a site successfully users of these communities usually delete former posts, directing prior and future readers with a link. The benefits of doing this? Just minutes ago I came across a blog where the above stared at me, and the FMBer was featured on the portal page still garnering votes.
Not doing so causes two things to be lost to bloggers:
- Traffic, because I wrote this and couldn’t get to your site.
- Votes, because when I search through the FMB listing I know what I want…and you missed my vote.
While FMB accounts are permanently tied in to an account and members don’t want to lose valuable vote ‘rep’, providing a redirect or link at your old site can continue to lead readers and votes to your new home online. It also provides a known solid link from a source you control if SEO, SERP, and PR are part of your game. Everybody wins.
Best, and happy blogging!
