Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi,

We have 2 sites, site A and site B. For now, some of our articles are duplicated on site B with rel canonicals towards site A.

Starting now, Site B will be the main site for this category, we'll only post the content on this site.

We will keep the old content on site A. But what do you think will happen if we invert the canonicals for the old articles? They would go towards site B. Would google eventually update its index, a bit like it would do for a redirect?

Thanks !

We also read it could come from

• Google Alerts : www.google.fr/alerts
• Google Custom Search : www.google.fr/cse?

Any idea on finding who could use google custom search to redirect trafic to us?

Hi Katie,

Thanks for your answer! Well no it is not the case! Our site never drew much trafic from google image (job listings are no that exciting haha).

The total traffic from google.fr dropped significantly. This is very surprising, we have no idea where this trafic was coming from!

Hi,

On one of our sites (after the release of a new version, including redirections), we've seen a drop in referral trafic from google.fr (france). I know that this trafic usually comes from Google Images but it doesnt seem to be the case this time. The referal path is "/" and not "imgres" as it usually is when it comes from google images.

The search trafic hasnt dropped tough...

The site is a job listing site. We also saw a drop from indeed.com, I guess their crawler got lost in our new site...

Any idea on the possible google site it could come from?

Thank you,
