Sha,

I wanted to send a quick update & see if we're on the right track? After implementing this 301 redirect, I'm seeing a few negatives, but also a few positives & would appreciate your feedback:

Concerns:

• Google Organic Traffic has dropped by 26.65% since we implemented the redirect (12 Days).

• Top Content Pages From Search Traffic has dropped from a weekly average of 1,500 pages to 998. I've segmented the Analytics to see if I had more or less pages that were driving traffic to my site (Organic Only).

Positives:

• Bing Organic Traffic is up 32.15% although not substantial for our overall traffic, but it has increased.

• Yahoo Organic Traffic is up 26.53% less traffic than Bing, so not substantial.

• Webmaster Tools Pages crawled per day: http://screencast.com/t/krkD69bj3mG we've had a huge spike, which I'm assuming is a good thing & a direct correlation to the 301 redirect.

All this being said, are we on the right track? The initial traffic loss had me worried, but after seeing the crawl stats it gave me hope? Do i just need to be more patient to see this through? Are we missing anything, or is this what you would expect?

Thanks,

BJ
