To confirm the expected scope of the SEO impact, including its impact on incoming traffic, we will be doing a test migration of a few dozen wikis in a few weeks. Migrating the domain is an action we are taking to resolve the risk, preempt future losses, recover some of that lost visibility, and then perhaps even grow the discoverability of your content on Gamepedia. With an average of four changes per year, the total annual loss of visibility for Gamepedia wikis is staggering, making it harder for your content on Gamepedia to find an audience. On average, each change Google has made has reduced visibility for Gamepedia wikis by up to 10%, while boosting Fandom wikis by up to 18%.
This affects how readers, as well as future editors, find your wikis. Over these two years, changes to Google’s algorithms-meaning, the secret sauce Google uses to determine how pages show up and rank in their search results-have negatively affected Gamepedia’s search engine optimization (SEO). I know this is a big change, but that search result visibility makes it a necessary one. There are a number of reasons for this, but one of the primary ones is to ensure that Gamepedia wikis and the hard work editors put into them continue to rank well in search results. After nearly two years of working together to bring Fandom and Gamepedia wikis onto one platform, we will be starting to migrate all Gamepedia wikis to a domain in early 2021.
#GAMEPEDIA FALLOUT MILO UPDATE#
Update (March 4th): Remaining Gamepedia wikis are beginning their migrations soon.
