Guest Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I have recently purchased the domain www.C-130Hercules.net. Should I change the sites's domain name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjvr99 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Can you use the new domain name as an alternate, while retaining the current site name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 If I make the change, I would need to use www.C-130Hercules.net as the primary and redirect www.HerkyBirds.com to it. Otherwise it would not increase the Google ranking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjvr99 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 OK, that would work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donwon Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Either way is fine with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mt.crewchief Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I think if attracting more visitors (potential members) will happen with a domain change, I am all for it!!! Maybe some of our old buddies will see the forum and join and take part in our very interesting discussions!! Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwylie Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I sure we all trust your judgement on this. I think it would help the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowyday Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I didn't get to vote. It says I did but I did not. Anyway, I had never heard a C-130 being called a HerkyBird until I found this site a few years ago, but now I think it is a great name. I would hate to see it changed.

Nc97 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 When I first started using the site, I think I remember it being Spectrumwd.com. How long ago was that change made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larry myers Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Casy, Frankly, I like your proposal. It much better describes what the web site is about and as such I believe it would increase traffic. Assuming traffic increase is an objective. Am sure there are many people out there looking at, "herkybirds," and wondering what the hell is that. Myers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mt.crewchief Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Casey, I just had to use the new domain name!

Keep up the good work and have a Merry Christmas Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have most everything working. www.Herkybirds.com has been redirected to www.C-130Hercules.net. Other book marks will not work but I'm sure everyone can redo them quiet easily. It is nice to "C-130 Hercules" in big letters at the top of the page. Merry Christmas to you too. Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinwhistle Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Somewhere along the line, many, many years ago we called our Herks, Herky Pigs. Every once in awhile that term slips into my vocabulary....Chris P.S. I like the new domain name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HercMX Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 "Herky Chicken" and "Whisper Pig" are known also...... Then those more rude names.... Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
