What Happens to the Existing YouMoz Blog Post URL If It Is Promoted to the Main SEOmoz Blog?
-
It's a 301, and the post no longer shows in the YouMoz area, but instead on the main blog.
The one downside is that there's not a category for looking at all YouMoz posts that have been promoted to the main blog.
-
Now, that's a good point Keri. Does that mean it "might" be coming soon ?

It would certainly be cool to see a category for posts that were promoted. Great idea.
-
Automating something like that would be key. Thanks for the tips.

Very true. The original social share stats would go away. Interesting dilema there. I've noticed that for a WordPress site I run where If I change the URL, all the Social Share stats are reset.
-
I honestly don't know if we will have this type of feature in the near future. It's something I'd certainly like, but it may not be something that's easy to code on the back end.
-
The 301s are automagically created for us.
-
The social shares are reset, which is a bummer, but I've also seen people often get two entries into Inbound and other social sites since there are now two different URLs.

Hint Hint: Those redirects starting with /ugc/ pointing to /blog/ are stored somewhere, right ?

-
That's a good point.
