Reply To: What messageboards do you frequent?
But 1.8 MILLION posts…..that’s quite the haul to transfer.
Especially since the migration to a totally new data structure and even keeping old login credentials and such.
I suppose that’s why they did not bother to implement 301 redirects for the forum.
Yeah, noticed as well that my old bookmarks don’t work. You probably cannot redirect all individual URLs especially on the forum (totrally different url structure) but at least general pages/sections. For a shop website not doing this could mean kind of SEO death. But the site does not sell anything to the masses and ranks huge in our niche anyway. But even with redirections Google would take weeks to months to catalogue. That site ranks for us in our niche but in general probably not that much and Google amongs lots of unknown measures uses that to decide how fast it does things.
