How to keep AdWords account value through moneysite migration...

Hey guys,

a friend of mine wants me to manage his AdWords account.

He is the owner of a small supplier firm and ran several PPC campaigns with AdWords in the last months.


Currently he is preparing for the launch of a brand new redesigned webshop - with completely new rootdomain name...

Since he earns about 95% of his biz through AdWords, he is concerned that his AW acct. might loose its rank/quality/value during the site migration - which would cost him a lot of $$.

He asked me how to prevent this from happening. :confused:

Can someone help me please?! Don't want to loose him as a client!

(Oh, and he also wants me to do a 301 redirect from the old site to the new one... Still have to search for that, but if you happen to know how to do this, your help would be appreciated a lot.)

Best wishes to all of you.

    Hey Valli,
    you may use your AW for 1 domain only so you will probably have to create new account, but maybe you can use the old one with redirect. The best thing I would suggest you is to contact GAW support and ask them for best possible way.

    Domain redirection - put these lines to .htaccess file in the root of your domain (maybe the first 2 lines are already there, don't duplicate it):

    Code:
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} http://www.olddomain.com [NC]
    RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com[R=301]
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards
    George
