If you have a penalized domain that you want to redirect to a new domain, it's important to take the necessary steps to preserve your content and avoid losing traffic and ranking. Here are some tips to consider:
Remember to set up the 301 redirects correctly to avoid losing traffic and ranking. You can use a plugin like Redirection or Yoast SEO to handle the redirects. These plugins will help you to set up the redirects quickly and easily, without any technical knowledge required.
- After the redirection, you will not need to access the old domain's WordPress admin. This means that you can focus on managing your new domain's content without worrying about the old domain. You can start by importing all of your old content to the new domain's WordPress admin panel. This will allow you to manage both old and new content from a single location.
- Adding WordPress to the new domain is highly recommended. Not only will it make importing your old content easier, but it will also provide you with a powerful content management system to manage your new domain's content. You can customize your WordPress installation to suit your needs and preferences.
- If the penalized domain still has AdSense, you should consider removing the AdSense code before redirecting. This will help to avoid any issues with your new AdSense account. If the new domain does not have AdSense yet, it's a good idea to wait until you have at least 30 articles before applying for a new AdSense account. This will increase your chances of getting approved and help you to earn more revenue from your website.
