I've been following a thread at Google Webmaster Help where a webmaster said he migrated his site from one domain to another, followed the moving site instructions Google has laid out for webmasters exactly and almost two months later still doesn't have the rankings the old site had on the old domain.

The site migrated from NutsOnline.com to Nuts.com, the webmaster said:

On January 6th, we submitted a change of address for http://www.nutsonline.com to nuts.com. We followed everything to the T. 301s, change of address in webmaster tools, and even tried to consolidate old indexed pages with rel=canonical and redirects.

Yea, this is a large site and it will take time, but Googler John Mueller chimed in with his somewhat disappointment in Google taking this long to pick up the new site. John wrote:

I'm sorry to hear that it's been this frustrating for your site. We worked hard to make our systems as fast and as pain-free as possible when it comes to site moves, so it's particularly frustrating for us to see situations where algorithmic fluctuations from such a change last longer than we'd want. Looking into your site, the issues you're seeing are very likely to settle down over time, as our algorithms get used to the new content and are able to migrate all associated signals properly.

He basically said, yea - you did everything right but Google's algorithms were in flux causing a slow down in the migration time. At least that is how I read it.

Maybe more interesting is the comment he made about "over time, as our algorithms get used to the new content and are able to migrate all associated signals properly." So no, 301 redirects do not lead to immediate ranking signal migration from the origin URL to the destination URL.

Alistair Lattimore who has been in correspondence with me on this thread felt that you can look into his comment as saying, a " 301 redirect doesn't magically transfer all ranking data over to the new domain/URLs, such as Google Panda signals as an example."

I hope the webmaster keeps us posted on the migration status.

Atlanta knows how to save a buck or two, according to a new study from Coupons.com. In a survey released today identifying the most frugal cities in the United States, the Big Peach is the best at not spending a lot.

These are complicated economic times and people are looking for whatever break they can get when it comes to parting ways with their hard-earned money. “Across the country, more Americans than ever before are turning to digital coupons to help them save their hard-earned cash,” said Jeanette Pavini, Coupons.com household savings expert. “The South and Midwest dominate the list of most frugal U.S. cities, out-saving other regions including the West and Northeast.”

Joining Atlanta in some good old southern frugality were Tampa (#2), Raleigh (#4), and Nashville (#10). However, the distinction of the most frugal region in the country belongs to the Midwest, where nine cities rank among the top 25 most frugal cities.

See below for the full list of the most frugal cities in the country. Oddly, what’s going on east of the Mississippi that’s got everybody couponing so much?

You may have noticed that Ohio has three cities in that list, two of which are in the top ten. Those three coupon-clipping cities have given Ohio the distinction of most frugal state in the United States.

People in Atlanta aren’t just printing off coupons and zipping out to stores, either. The city was the most “on-the-go” frugal city, as well, due to the high number of people using their mobile devices in order to cash in their coupons.

Anybody in these cities (or beyond) an unabashed couponer? What’s your favorite way to save? Share with the rest of us below in the comments.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Research and Markets(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f04473/digital_health_now) has announced the addition of the "Digital Health NOW Spotlight Report: Cool Technologies in Healthcare ICT" report to their offering.

As challenges facing Canadian healthcare intensify, the focus on leveraging technology for greater efficiencies in healthcare has intensified. As a result, innovation in healthcare technologies continues to remain cutting edge with several new technologies being introduced into the market on a regular basis. Branham defines a "cool technology" as one that is innovative, is recent in its application and expected to find increased application in coming years.

Undoubtedly the hottest trend in digital Health, borne out by the breadth of its adoption over the past two years, is the move towards wireless and mobile infrastructure and applications. The digital health market is evolving rapidly. Once characterised by small scale, single applications, it is increasingly dominated by larger multi-functional systems. The type of organisation that is building and hosting eHealth services is also changing, with incumbent healthcare providers ceding market share to the next generation of providers or changing themselves to offer next generation solutions. This evolution, in part, is being driven by the growing use of both local and wide area wireless networking and mobile applications. The value of wireless technology is seen in improving service productivity, efficiency and profitability. Though healthcare organisations in Canada and elsewhere have been slow to embrace wireless technology, more and more organisations are finding that they can save time and money and improve care with this technology and as it eliminates the need for wired connections, it increases mobility of their patients and healthcare professionals and ultimately improves treatment outcomes.

Key Topics Covered:

Research and Markets: Cool Technologies in Healthcare ICT - Digital Health NOW Spotlight Report

It was the Nick Emery and TJ Haws show Tuesday night in Highland as Lone Peak (18-3, 9-1) dispatched Bingham (8-13, 0-0) with a late barrage of 3-point baskets to win decisively, 70-43.

While not quite as notorious, Emery and Haws are every bit as intimidating to opposing teams as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Haws typically plays the role of Sundance, but his school-record-tying eight 3-point baskets and career-high 31 points earned "The Kid" top billing on senior night.

The two teams started out thuggish, combing for eight fouls in the first eight minutes as they were locked in a 3-3 stalemate halfway through the first quarter. Emery and Haws connected on three treys and accounted for all of the Knights' 11 points. Senior Brody Berry was the first player not named Nick or TJ to record a basket, nearly four minutes into the second period.

After playing tough at the outset, the Miners failed to capitalize on poor shooting and turnovers for Lone Peak and that is something no team can afford when playing a club the caliber of the Knights. Lone Peak took advantage of a chance to catch a second wind and came out firing in the second quarter as the Knights used a mini Emery burst to fuel a 14-2 run, pushing the lead to 25-8.

The Miners chipped away at the lead taking advantage of the Knights' aggressive play and getting to the line as they used a 9-0 run of their own to keep things close. They were able to keep within 10 points and striking distance but it was Sundance to the rescue for Lone Peak as Haws drained a 3 to end the quarter and extend the lead to 30-17.

Twelve of Lone Peak's 19 points in the third came off 3-point baskets by Emery and Haws. None were more impressive than Emery's buzzer-beater that gave the Knights a 49-32 lead. After a missed shot, Berry jumped over the baseline and saved the possession by tossing the ball well beyond the arc and Emery connected from way downtown on a fade-away 3-point basket with a hand in his face.

Haws took over in the fourth scoring three quick 3-pointers, taking a steal coast-to-coast finishing with a strong one handed dunk and knifing through the defense for another lay-up. Haws' 13-point fourth quarter sparked a 17-4 run that would end any and all hope for Bingham (8-13, 4-6), as he and the Knights would ride off into the sunset with a 27 point win.

Next up for Lone Peak (18-3, 9-1) is a trip to the state 5A tournament next week. The Knights tied American Fork for the top spot in Region 4, but the Knights lost the coin flip with the Cavemen and will enter the tournament as the No. 2 seed from the region. They will play at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday against the third-place team from Region 2.
