      Hello,

      We've 301 redirected our .com domain to .co.uk. A few dayes ago, I've started to get traffic from the .com domain to the hompage.

      Any idea how this can happen?

      • 100% New visits

      • Low bounce rate

      • 80% of the referral traffic

      Our website is www.theloanengine.co.uk

      Any suggestions are welcomed.

      Cornel

        Cornel, What traffic was the .com domain getting prior to the redirect? Do you have any analytics/stats? Was the .com domain ranking for anything? (I notice it's not in the index now).

        Was there any material/email campaigns etc with the .com address on?

        Can you drill down further into this traffic?

          Hi Doug,

          Thank you for your reply.

          We never used the .com it was redirected to the .co.uk domain since the begining.

          The traffic is 100% new visits.

          Cornel
