Yahoo! Is Now Ranking TKG.com

Tag: Domain Change Tracking, Yahoo!Jen @ 12:28 pm

I stand corrected…

In my post earlier today, I mentioned that www.tkg.com was not ranking yet - after additional research by our awesome SEO interns, we found that for some of the phrases I mentioned in my Search Engine rankings benchmark post, both the new & old domains are ranking in Yahoo! This gives us more ‘real estate’ in the SERPs (see image below) which is great for us now - but I know this will all end once everything shakes out. Hopefully we can gain additional traffic from Yahoo! while both domains are ranking..I’ve checked and so far, Yahoo! isn’t supplying any more traffic than it used to.

It’s Been 6 Days Since Site Migration…

Tag: Domain Change Tracking, Yahoo!Jen @ 10:39 am

Almost a week after www.thekarchergroup.com became www.tkg.com, Yahoo! is going strong, indexing over 125 pages for tkg.com and nearly 800 for thekarchergroup.com…

Yahoo! Saturation
Prior to Site Migration 24 Hours After Site Migration Current
www.tkg.com 69 7 125
www.thekarchergroup.com 856 895 795

We’re continuing to see fluctuation with the number of pages indexed with the old domain, but keep in mind that TKG.com is not yet ranking in Yahoo! (or any other SE) - when you do a search for “the karcher group”, the old domain is still showing up in the SERPs - so we’re still in “transition”.

MSN & Google have still not “reacted” to our site migration…

Googlebot Visits TKG.com

The bots are hitting the site; hopefully a sign that it won’t be too long before tkg.com is indexed by Google…and dare I say ranking again?!

Yahoo! the First to React…48 Hours after TKG.com Site Migration

Tag: Domain Change TrackingJen @ 7:55 am

It’s been 48 hours since the site migration and Yahoo! is the first Search Engine to react. The image below represents what pages Yahoo! has indexed for our new domain: www.tkg.com - those circled are the pages in The Karcher Group’s current site - those that aren’t are pages from the old site still in Yahoo!’s index.

Increase in Search Engine Saturation for Old Domain

Tag: Domain Change TrackingJen @ 8:41 am

I know it’s only been 24 hours, but I wanted to mention something unexpected that happened - the number of old domain pages that are being indexed has increased slightly and the number of old domain pages are decreasing. Check out the numbers below…

Search Engine Saturation Benchmark
www.thekarchergroup.com
Before Site Migration 24 Hours After Site Migration
Google 425 443
Yahoo! 856 895
MSN 2,820 2,840
Search Engine Saturation Benchmark
www.tkg.com
Before Site Migration 24 Hours After Site Migration
Google 0 0
Yahoo! 69 7
MSN 253 124

I realize that this is probably nothing to be concerned about and that its going to take at least a few weeks for everything to shake out…thought it deserved at least a mention though!
