Social Media Revolver Is Coming!
I’ve got some exciting news! I have finally decided to change the domain name of this blog. The old name (facebook-advertising-marketing.com) is not really reflecting the scope of this blog any more. Facebook is just one, although important section covered in this blog, but a lot of the articles are actually not Facebook related at all. It also has the name ‘facebook‘ in it which is not really a good idea if you are not, well … Facebook.
So, the new name of this blog will be: (insert drum roll here)
https://socialmediarevolver.com
Pretty cool name, eh? I got lucky with this one as it’s quite hard to get a proper domain name (without hyphens) with the words ‘Social‘ and ‘Media‘ in it. I already owned social-media-advertising.com but even though it had a Page Rank 2 and three good keywords in it it was a bit boring. I think SocialMediaRevolver packs a lot more punch, and it ‘s easier to remember and type without those pesky hyphens.
This new name will serve the blog a lot better as it is not all about Facebook anymore. We’ll be covering the whole exciting spectrum of the social media world from Twitter and LinkedIn to video marketing and blogging for social impact. There will be a How To -section as well; Social Media news, -tips and -tricks, …and of course the important Facebook stuff. We’ve got lots of exciting articles lined up from our awesome guest bloggers as well.

That is a serious question!
At the moment I am right in the middle of this rather unpleasant process of moving everything over to the new domain. The main goal here is not to loose the links to URL’s of the old articles. Also we don’t want to lose any of that important SEO juice the posts have gathered over time.
Luckily I’ve had lots of valuable help from some clever social media professionals. Thanks JG, Jane and Kristi! Follow these guys, they know some serious stuff!
If you are subscribing to the RSS feed or email delivery of this blog, don’t worry FeedBurner will recognize the name change and it will be business as usual.
As soon as the migration is done and everything is up and running I will let you know how I did it and how the whole process went. Wish me luck!
Let’s get the ball (or the cylinder in this case) rolling
As some of you would know it is quite tricky to break in a new domain name, so if you want to help me out it would be great.
I have a temporary homepage set up at the new blog address, so if you could please go and click on those Twitter and Like -buttons it would be much appreciated!
