Big drop in impressions, but better rank and CTR

Hi!

I've recently moved my blog to a new domain and I'm still struggling to figure out some things that are happening.

We're experiencing a drop in organic traffic (I made a post about that two days ago), and I looked at Google Search Console for some answers. It turns out I'm even more confused now.

This is what is happening with some of our articles:

  • Performance from two weeks ago (old address, 7 days): 4000+ impressions, 4% CTR and 16,2 average position.

  • Performance in the last 7 days, new address: 1000+ impressions, 8% CTR and 9 average position.

How does this make sense? How does the article have a much better rank (moved from second to first page even!) and much, much fewer impressions?

Mind you that there hasn't been a decrease in searches for the keyword in question. It's not a seasonal subject and I checked Google Trends even.

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank?

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
