Domain Changed to Marketingtechblog.com
Douglas KarrThanks for stopping by my personal blog on Marketing Technology! Over 50,000 visitors a month find my content worth returning for, so don't forget to subscribe to the Marketing Technology Blog RSS feed or to the Marketing Technology Email to have new content sent directly to your inbox. You may also find my other business blog helpful, Social Media Domination.
This could be googlecide… or blogocide, we’ll see. I wrote yesterday that I should not have utilized my name as my domain name.
Anyways, you’ll notice starting today that I’ve officially changed the site’s domain from douglaskarr.com to marketingtechblog.com. I’ll be forwarding the URL for the next 6 months until traffic to douglaskarr.com trickles off, then I’ll retire it altogether.
I’ll let you know how tough a transition this is. Hopefully all goes well!
Note: This won’t have any impact if you’re subscribed via email or by RSS.
Very best wishes from across the pond

Also, I bet that Doug Karr is happy.
You will do just fine.
I mean, I still read it.
I moved my URL in January and found that changing the feed like you did was a huge help.
However I’ve decided not to retire my old site. I had so many links from other blogs and websites to the old site, I still receive a lot of incoming traffic from it. Most of the folks who put me on a blogroll have the old site. Some people still use favorites, not RSS. Many of the google results are still the old site.
Anyway, best of luck to you with the transition.

When I bought my first domain name, silly me chose one with a hyphen in it. It’s not a major problem, but something that I will be changing eventually.
I’d be interested to know how it will affect my SEO efforts and traffic.
