Recently on Twitter, John Mueller<\/strong> of Google was asked to share his thoughts on why even after moving an old site to a new domain the old domain URLs are still showing in SERP. Also, the asked person has used the Removal Tool<\/strong> but still, the old URLs are present in SERP.<\/p>\n

John on his reply said, when you are merging two sites<\/strong> together then you have to do nothing but to wait to get your old URLs removed from SERP. He said, it normally takes a lot longer when you merge sites rather than move domains<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It means, when we only move a domain to another domain then the process of old URLs removal from SERP is a bit faster.<\/p>\n

John also advised to not use the Removal Tool when merging two sites together. He said, if you do so then you won’t get any traffic<\/strong> at all for the old domain.<\/p>\n

No, never use the removal tools for site-moves. The removal tool doesn't affect canonicalization, it won't speed up site moves. You'll get less traffic that way.<\/p>\n
