Google Updates official guidelines for moving web site

Well-known Digital Marketing Agency, According to Google Webmaster Trends Analysts, Pierre Far and Zineb Ait Bahajji, Google updated their official guidelines for moving your web site and having Google in mind when doing so.

There are two ways to move your site: First move a site with no URL change and second move with URL change.

1.     With NO URL change: you need to upgrade your site’s content management system to a new platform with the same domain name and URLs. You might move the site to a new hosting company, however.

2.     With URL changes: it occurs with the change of URL. Let’s see the example, http://www.example.com to https://www.example.net.

The domain name changes, i.e. example.com to example.net and/or the URL paths change, i.e. http://example.com/page.php?id=1 to http://example.com/widget.

Google said they’ve “seen cases where webmasters implemented site moves incorrectly, or missed out steps that would have greatly increased the chances of the site move completing successfully.”
