Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks William, and yes we did redirects at the page level.

It looks like we didn't have the correct analytics code in a few different templates so that might have been the cause of some of the drop. It's also been just over a week since we made the switch so we're probably still in that window were the drop should be expected.

We recently migrated one of our websites to a new domain. Obviously we were expecting a decrease in traffic initially, but it has actually gone down by 70% week-over-week since we made the switch.

We set up a 301 redirect from the old domain to the new domain, changed all internal links to the new domain and changed all inbound links that we owned to the new domain.

Our research suggested the best way to approach a domain change was by keeping it simple and not making too many changes at once. So my questions are:

1. Are these the kinds of results we should expect initially after a domain change? And if not,

2. What are the steps we should take from here?

Thanks!

It would be really useful to us if SEOmoz expanded on these capabilities...e.g. if we could input 5 domains into one campaign, and then connect a separate GA profile to each domain, and then view rankings and traffic data for each domain separately against the same keyword set...that would be amazing. We do that manually now, that would save us a couple hours each week and make SEOmoz an even better value.
