Hey, I'm Shailesh Shakya...
When I started blogging, I bought a domain (http://example.com)
After 2 years, I redirected it to another domain (say http://another-example.com)
And then after 1 year, I redirected current domain from HTTP to HTTPS.

Something like this: - https://another_example.com

Line diagram: -

http://example.com -------> 301 redirected to http://another-example.com -----> 301 directed to https://another-example.com

It's been 3 months since my traffic is not recovering.

Should I pass the first redirection?

please suggest me..

    hey, the first one, forget about it! don't use redirects in this case or a landing page ofr the first domain name informing that the website is by now served by another domain. Please, read some doc, and don't redirect http that dirty way.

    The Big G. and every other search engine in the room loathe redirects.

    Mainly because it's been abused by spammers using cloaking to bring home the bacon.

    It's such a pity because you could easily have 1000 days using under the radar software.

      Hey, I have read your article. Thank for your answer...
      But I have a question...
      Like I said above, My site has a chain redirection. The first redirection is in-between domains and the second redirection is HTTP to HTTPS.
      And when I checked my oldest domain (Example Domain) indexing on google using "site: http://example.com" then I found that almost all my webpages were still indexed.
      I mean google has indexed articles from both of my domains. is it ok?

        What you see is cached stuff. G. wouldn't crawl your site if it see 301.
        Meaning, if you made changes to original pages, if you compare them
        to latest, they will be different.

        Why don't you just delete old stuff, re-submit new domain and let G. to crawl it?

    I believe that article explains that Google will always keep the first domain's crawl results and will always check them.

    I think you should take a look at where your traffic flow used to flow, if recovery is your goal. Secondly, is your newest site indexed and showing up along with the original site for your keywords?

    Identify where your traffic loss is occurring - review all your backlinks.

    Make sure that you know exactly what to attribute your traffic losses to - otherwise, the article pretty much sums it up and simply go on from there.
