Change Domain Name = Lose All Social Proof... Solutions?
I want to change a domain name on a blog I run but I've had to hold off doing so because I'll lose all my social media shares (Tweets, Likes and +1s) associated
with the site.
Has anyone had to deal with the same issue, and has anyone come up with good solutions to this problems?
One thought I had was to leave all the old pages on the old domain using an htaccess rewrite (keeping the old social proof), and allow all the newest content be published on the new domain? I'm concerned this is a bad idea though since it will split the site into two properties.
Your thoughts?
Thanks,
Chris
