I recently moved www.example1.com
to www.example2.com
.
Initially, for a period of perhaps 1-2 weeks, this move was most likely a redirect from www.example1.com/blah
to www.example2.com
(go to the new domain but don't find the content).
I decided I needed better redirects because I wanted credit for some links I had, and I wanted to make sure users finding my links got pointed to the new page. Since my link structure was different in the new site, I wrote a redirect for every piece of content. It may not be ideal, but now when a page is requested on example1.com
it redirects to the correct content on example2.com
. This does not work with individual assets, for instance some images which forum users linked to on my site. I made a few manual links to try to keep those working. But any "not found" resource will just bounce to the home page.
My old domain had a domain authority between 20-30, but my new domain has a domain authority of 1.
My question is this: now that I've changed my 301 redirects, does that change get detected by the G? And should I expect to get some of the domain authority back that I used to have? If so, what kind of timeframe should I be thinking?
