Hi Experts!
I have a bit confused question.

I own a domain say abc.com. It has a video script and it has 5000+ daily unique visitors. google adsense sent a message about usage of youtube abuse and disabled adsense ads serving on abc.com.

Now I want to make a new website and want to redirect my abc.com's visitors to new site say xyz.com but the problem is if i redirect 301 permanent to new domain. The URL structure will be different of new domain as compare to abc.com. So kindly suggest me the solution how can i redirect my traffic to new domain without losing SEO rank of abc.com.
Is there any way around?

SEO and Adsense are two totally different things.
Okay, you lost your adsense account, but it will not affect the SERPS you have now.

@Lame_Wolf
Dear you misunderstand my question. yeah adsense and seo are both different things. I just told the reason of changing the URL. How can I minimize the loss of traffic by redirecting all traffic to new site?

@epmaniac
i was using prismo tube script. thats why google adsense disable adserving on my that domain only, my adsense remains active. but on that domain ads are not shown now...

Well, I am not sure what has changed.But I do find adsense accounts being denied for websites serving youtube videos alone.For example, if you have a page which is a mashup of youtube videos on the topic, google doesn't seem to be considering that as good.

They are changing the rules but they could have given the opportunity to take the corrective action.

But Nandla may be best person to say why his account has been disabled.

Nandla, note that by transferring the content to the new domain, you may not be able to continue using add\sense unless the primary problem is addressed.Even if you transfer the traffic to the new domain, they might disable it for that domain as well as long as you retain the same content.It is better to address the root problem first.

@indyank
I'm not gonna use same content on new domain as well. thats what i'm asking that suppose if my older url is www.abc.com/video234.html and the address of new site URL may be www.xyz.com/helloworld.php. then how long can i redirect that visitors to my new domain because visitors come from google search. if google will not find what he has shown in search result about my site. will it not make me out of its index? :(

Will www.abc.com/video234.html and www.xyz.com/helloworld.php have the same content?

if google will not find what he has shown in search result about my site. will it not make me out of its index?


Exactly...how do you plan to address this with the new url - www.xyz.com/helloworld.php, if it will not have the same content as www.abc.com/video234.htm?

I haven't misunderstand anything.

If you were getting 5K+ visitors when you had adsense, then you will still get 5K+ vistors without it.

Why are you bothering to alter your URL's ?

Sorry, I cannot see the connection of adsense and why you want to alter Domain names. Are thinking of adding adsense on the new site ?
No doubt, you'll be found out and banned again, even if there are no violations.

From the owner of PrismoTube...

1) Nullified Version of PrismoTube, if we find out that a domain is not licensed by us, an email will be sent to google abuse department and most probably the domain will get banned from adsense and google search engine.

2) Custom player does not show Youtube watermark might also cause this problem, with PrismoTube 2.0 you will be able to edit flash vars from the admin area witch lets you add a youtube watermark, in this case you are safe.

3) With prismotube you will be able to download videos directly from youtube in FLV or MP4 formats, this also might be the cause but at the same time it is your choice, you can disable this feature from the admin area.

4) A domain name with bad history, fraud, credit issues with adsense.

Other than that there is no reason to get banned from google, the script uses google API service.


IIRC, Google does not like it if you have youtube video's soley for the idea of Adsense income. (IMO, this is scraped content unless you made it yourself).

remember new site will have entirely new content than old domain.

then there is no point in redirecting.You will get yourself into more trouble by doing such redirects.AFAIK it is not considered to be a whitehat technique.

Yes, you can redirect it with 301 redirect.

...remember new site will have entirely new content than old domain.


Then most likely it will drop in the search engine results, probably sooner rather than later, depending on how similar / different the content is from the abc.com site to the xyz.com site.

I have moved a site from one domain to another with 301 redirects that had VERY SIMILAR content, and SERPs and traffic dropped like a rock.

So if the content of your xyz.com site is "entirely new," don't expect it to rank well.
