So I’ve come to a decision. I am going to be migrating this blog to a new domain: RickGalan.com. I have found that I simply cannot stay fully on a topic (like conversational marketing), and let slide a lot of good posts because they don’t fully align with the theme of the blog. Since I basically suck at writing here anyway, I feel like I should remove any barriers I can.
I have a few other URLs that I want to use (in conjunction with other writers) to have more focused content. So that should be a good time.
I would love some feedback… Good idea? Bad idea? Why? Should I simply start a new blog and leave this one alone, or should I migrate everything over and redirect everything (which is what I’m leaning towards)?
If you have any thoughts I would love to hear them – either in the comments or hit me up on Twitter: @RickGalan
Do it Rick. I had the same problem a while back. I had used digitalthom.com for years, but really wanted all my content on thomallen.com. So I created 301′s for all my content on the original site, imported everything over to the new site, and have never looked back.
In the end you’ll be glad for a number of reasons, but the most important to me is name recognition. You have a unique name, so you won’t have any competition. Good luck, glad to help if you need it.
Thanks Thom. I appreciate the encouragement. :) I may hit you up for some help migrating the database.. never done that before. :)
