They had<br \/>\n  read that<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/site-move-url-change\/\">Google recommends using a <code>301<\/code> redirect<\/a><br \/>\n  to let Googlebot know about the move, but they weren&#8217;t sure if they should do that. They wondered<br \/>\n  if Googlebot would follow the <code>301<\/code> to the new site, see that it contained the same<br \/>\n  content as the pages already indexed from the old site, and think it was duplicate content (and<br \/>\n  therefore not index it). They wondered if a <code>302<\/code> redirect would be a better option.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  I told them that a <code>301<\/code> redirect was exactly what they should do. A<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/Protocols\/rfc2616\/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.3.3\" class=\"external-link\"><code>302<\/code><\/a><br \/>\n  redirect tells Googlebot that the move is temporary and that Google should continue to index the<br \/>\n  old domain. A<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/Protocols\/rfc2616\/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.3.2\" class=\"external-link\"><code>301<\/code><\/a><br \/>\n  redirect tells Googlebot that the move is permanent and that Google should start indexing the new<br \/>\n  domain instead. Googlebot won&#8217;t see the new site as duplicate content, but as <em>moved<\/em><br \/>\n  content. And that&#8217;s exactly what someone who is changing domains wants.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  They also wondered how long it would take for the new site to show up in Google search results.<br \/>\n  They thought that a new site could take longer to index than new pages of an existing site. I told<br \/>\n  them that if they noticed that it took a while for a new site to be indexed, it was generally<br \/>\n  because it took Googlebot a while to learn about the new site. Googlebot learns about new pages to<br \/>\n  crawl by following links from other pages and from Sitemaps. If Googlebot already knows about a<br \/>\n  site, it generally finds out about new pages on that site quickly, since the site links to the<br \/>\n  new pages.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  I told them that by using a <code>301<\/code> to redirect Googlebot from the old domain to the new<br \/>\n  one and by submitting a Sitemap for the new domain, Googlebot could much more quickly learn about<br \/>\n  the new domain than it might otherwise. They could also let other sites that link to their site<br \/>\n  know about the domain change so that other sites could update their links.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The crawling and indexing processes are completely automated, so I couldn&#8217;t tell them exactly when<br \/>\n  the domain would start showing up in results. But letting Googlebot know about the site (using a<br \/>\n  <code>301<\/code> redirect and a Sitemap) is an important first step in that process.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  You can find out more about<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/build-submit-sitemap\/\">submitting a Sitemap in our documentation<\/a><br \/>\n  and you can find out more about how to use a <code>301<\/code> redirect by doing a Google search<br \/>\n  for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=301+redirect\" class=\"external-link\"><span><code>301<\/code> redirect<\/span><\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"byline-author\">Posted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanessafox.com\/\" class=\"external-link\">Vanessa Fox<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a while since we published this blog post.
