I just looked over my stats going back into 2007, and there was no noticeable dip in search engine traffic after I switched this blog’s URLs. Referrals stayed pretty consistent until the Christmas week dip, then began to rise in early 2008 and have been solid since then.

So, all in all, no trouble in switching the permalinks here on SBS. Thx for asking, John.

Matt,

You mentioned reporting back on the results of your permalink migration. Did this give you any trouble? i.e. Did your traffic fluctuate after the migration?

Recently made a similar change to PPC Hero and I’m trying to get a feel for how similar blogs fared in the switch!

Thanks,

John

It is a very impressive that less than 1/3 of your traffic came from search engines. I am trying to build something along these lines so I guess social media is one of the best routes according to your reports. Do you have any other useful tips?

Congrats on winning the Best Local Search Blog award, and congrats on the site growth. I dare not share my stats, but I am looking forward to having a great blogging year myself in 2008.
