I'm one of the product guys at The Guardian involved in this project. It was quite an undertaking. Happy to field any questions you might have as best I can.

- drewvolpe 13y agoI'd be really interested in what things you did make sure your existing pages didn't lose pagerank and what affects it seems to be having.
- cantlin 13y agoThe blanket wildcard 301 redirect between .co.uk and .com was one of the quicker things to implement, since our path structure hasn't changed. These should cause pagerank to migrate fairly seamlessly. It's also no accident that the move was scheduled for late July, one of the slowest months for us in traffic terms, reducing risk. We saw Google referrer traffic take a nose dive yesterday, but appears to be recovering nicely today and is expected to return to pre-move levels over August.
