Mastering strategic tools for online visibility is important. One tool that can significantly impact your website’s reach is domain forwarding.
In this lesson, we’re learning all about forwarding domains. We’ll learn what it is, why to forward, how to forward, and then we’ll go over an example. Finally, we’ll summarize all our top tips.
Challenges online course creators can face if they don’t forward their domains:
• Without domain forwarding, learners may struggle to find your course online, leading to confusion and potential loss of participants.
• Your brand presence might scatter across different web addresses, making it harder for students to identify and remember your platform.
• It can impact your search engine rankings, affecting the discoverability of your online courses.
• Competitors might exploit similar web addresses, diverting potential learners from your courses.
• Missed marketing opportunities, as promotional efforts may not reach the intended audience due to fragmented online presence.
Tips for creative online course creators when using domain forwarding for more traffic to their online courses:
• Use redirects to effortlessly direct additional domain addresses to your main server, expanding your audience and online presence.
• Secure variations of your domain to prevent competitors from capitalizing on similar names, maintaining brand integrity.
• Preserve valuable SEO juice by employing permanent redirects (301) when forwarding domains, ensuring a seamless transition and retaining search engine benefits.
• Improve user experience by forwarding misspelled or alternate versions of your domain, reducing the risk of potential visitors encountering dead ends.
• Capture diverse search preferences by forwarding domains with variations in spelling or terms commonly used by your target audience.
• Implement temporary redirects (302) during maintenance periods to guide visitors to an alternative destination while ensuring continuous online availability.
