Domain Transfer & Alexa Traffic Update

On Oct 8th, I decided to move Eazy Cheezy from Blogspot to a Domain. As I included in my How to Move Your Blog to a Domain article, it was a very simple and quick process. At the end of the entry, I specified that it could take up to 3 days to fully transfer to my new .Net domain. During the transfer, the only difference I noticed is that I was unable to manage my site from the front page. For any modifications, I had to go into the layout from my dashboard. It was a seemless transition and I still administer my site through Blogspot. The only difference is in the URL.

The main thing I had to do with the new URL was submit my URL to Search Engines and directories and let friends know about my URL change. During this time, I also decided to modify my design layout. Then I took on an experiment by running campaigns in Stumbled Upon and Digg. Much has transpired since my last Alexa Traffic entry. As I noted in my experiment, an overwhelming amount of traffic was pulled in by 20+ Sites to Watch Movies & TV Online.

Since I had to resubmit my URL, I have had “no data” displayed within my Alexa widget. Finally, yesterday Alexa has my rankings listed on their toolbar. So here are the results;

Alexa Rankings
Oct 2nd - 7,061,154
Oct 3rd - 4,130,697
Oct 7th – 3,098,288
Oct 18th – 1,133,260

Alexa isn’t the only major ranking system that counts. Many also consider the Technorati Rankings and Google Rankings when determining the top sites. My Technorati Rankings were at just 1,102,964, but since I had to submit my new URL to them, they dropped to 4,666,062 and I have no authority. I’ll venture more into Technorati in the near future and make an entry specific to Technorati.
