Goodbye, snow.blogware.com… hello www.highlyobsessed.com!

  1. TIGHT. Love the new domain bro.

  2. Did a similar thing recently. Moved to hittingkickers.com from an old domain - don’t ask! Traffic dipped a bit, but then really started moving upwards.
    Getting techie on you for a sec… I see you’ve got your redirects in place from the old domain. I don’t know what the set up is with blogware, but the redirects are currently 302 (temporary) redirects. Search engines will respond better to 301 (permanent) redirects. So change them if you can.
    Drop me an email if you need any help with it.

  3. Ugh, I forgot about that. Thanks. Checked into it.. the problem is I don’t have access to the .htaccess file. :( I’ve pointed out the 302 issue to the Blogware team though. Lesson here: always start a serious site with a real domain name!

  4. Hey Bro. Changed the link at my site and added “NEW URL” after it. Contact all the folks that link to your site and have them change the URL.

    Posted at my site about the URL change (and busted on the Canadian Accent). =) Just a litttle bit.
