Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Jen We are in the fortunate/crazy situation where we have a custom CMS so the actual redirects are not really a problem from a technical standpoint, it is just wondering if we should The main site - the biggest and busiest - has a discussion board and a shop, and a blog which the others don't so the articles are about 10% of the indexed content, and about 11% are unique.. the other 2 sites, one has 0.003% unique articles and the other 1.829% ... sounds pretty bad when I put it like that! We haven't seen a noticeable dip, just general disappointing performance, I think I will try and rope someone into doing a full CSI on the data Have you seen anywhere that has recovered from a comparable situation? The pondering at this end was that the damage was already done, and that was that. thanks

The best way to do this is to get your site syndicated in Google News. Google identifies real time/breaking trends for queries and often displays related news results. Here's more info on Google News: https://support.google.com/news/publisher/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2481358 I've had a couple of sites accepted in recent years, and am very familiar with Google's requirements. Let me know if you have any questions.

If you export the crawl diagnostics to a CSV, we do have this information in the last column.

That's an impressive looking report, thanks for the tip Sadly not quite what I meant, as far as I can see. (probably my weak explanation - sorry!) It shows what people did after they visited our page, do you know of any source of info that can tell us who liked the page, or shared the page to get the traffic, or is FB a black box?
