How to move squeeze page to a new directory?

by Beatrice
6 replies
Hello!

My squeeze page is currently on my main blog. I would like to move it to a sub directory where it will become index.html (this is in order to add AtrackerZ on it)

How can I achieve this? I have many articles on various article directories with links to this existing squeeze page?

Can someone tell me the best way to go about it? Do I need to create a second squeeze page?

Thanks for your replies

    Just create a new sub directory on your server and move/reinstall the squeeze page there.

    The problem though is that you have links pointing to your current home page (example.com) and now the squeeze page will be located at example.com/subdirectory) so your link juice will no longer go to your squeeze page, but to whatever you replace your home page with.

    I am thinking though that what you are asking to do and what you want to achieve are two different things.:confused:

      Exactly the problem I have. Also I don't know how to grab and move the squeeze page in the ftp program to a new directory and therefore can't install Adtrackz on it.:confused:

        If it is a Wordpress page that your squeezepage is on, you can't just move the file with ftp. You also have to move the database to the new directory.

        I don't know about Adtrackz, but I am wondering why you can't install it on the home page. I would think the installation would be the same regardless of where your squeeze page is at.

        And if you move the exact same page to a different location, it would be the same results, just in a different location.

        That is why I think we don't fully understand what and why you are trying to do as it doesn't make a lot of logical sense. But maybe we will get you through it.

    So from what I understand, your squeeze page is a wordpress blog post/page.

    If so, things will be a bit hard. Chances are, you will need to move your entire blog into a new sub-directory.

    This wouldn't be that hard if your squeeze page was in static HTML.

    There are a couple tutorials online about moving blogs without breaking them. Do a quick Google Search and you'll be good.

    I'm not sure if this applies to you, because I don't know enough about your tech background or experience - but I'm just posting it here, in case someone else may find this tip useful...

    It sounds like you'd make better use of your time just farming this out to someone on WF or a site like fiverr or CL.
    Sometimes you have to make sure you are using your time wisely.
    I'm not saying that you should not try and learn simple tech tasks, but there's a point you reach where you've bitten off more than you can chew. That's when it makes sense money and time wise to just pay someone else to do it.
    People can seriously mess up their website structure and SEO related setup if they have no clue what they're doing.
    Again, I'm not sure if this applies to you in this situation, but it's just a tip that a lot of marketers forget about.
    If you value your time at $25 per hour and it takes you 10 hours to figure out how to do some random tech task that it would have cost you only $30 to pay somebody to do, you lose!

    Of course, if your main goal is to learn all the technical details of setting up, changing and updating wordpress or other types of websites, then learning this kind of stuff will pay off in the future.

    But for the regular guy/gal that just wants to start or grow their IM business, I would recommend that they hire someone to do this type of stuff.

    Move the page over to the directory you want and use htaccess to redirect the blog post to your new squeeze page.
