Changing a TGP into a Blog (will Google be ok with the change?) - GoFuckYourself.com

HappySkeet · 07-19-2009, 03:51 PM

I've got a small, PR1 TGP that is ranked well in multiple google searches, that gets 1500-1800 daily uniques straight from google.

I'm thinking about changing it from a full-on TGP to a blog with a few galleries.

Is there a chance I could lose all my google rankings and/or SE traffic once the transition is over?

I understand I'll lose overall traffic from my cancelled traffic trades but I'm not worried about that.

Has anyone ever done this before or know what might happen?

Thanks

Just out of curiosity, why not just make a new blog in a folder or subdomain of your TGP site?

If you are trying to take shortcut and keep all your backlink traffic, I am pretty sure that when Google catches on to the change the effect is not going to be good.

Putting the blog in a /blog/ folder is certainly an option but I was hoping to have people find the blog before they find the tgp. So google would still link to the main www.com TGP area first.

The whole idea behind starting a blog is that I'm thinking I'll get better conversions/sales by teasing the surfers with posts - rather than "giving away" all the free stuff in the TGP area.

The /blog/ seems like it would cause me to have to build up the traffic and google ranking from scratch. Maybe I'm wrong.

DONT do either. You will take a hit that may take 90 days or more to recover from.

Build a blog on another domain on another server and feed the TGP if you dont have a traffic trade, and use the tgp to feed the blog.

Hit me on ICQ if you like.
