I wanted to give a quick report. It has been 3 months, we restored the articles after the drop, but there is no real progress.
1. The old main site is still stuck at the bottom, with only small spikes here and there.
An interesting thing: before, most traffic came from the US and other...
Thank you!
I'll keep you updated - I'm also very curious how it will end.
JFI, we removed the redirects and put the articles back.
The old site is much more important for us than the new one, but maybe it wasn't the best decision.
The first month after the downgrade has passed, but nothing has changed yet :(

A few weeks ago, we decided to create a separate niche site (Site 2) for one specific category.
We moved about 200 articles there and set up 301 redirects...
One more question: is it possible to start with an old domain and later move to a new one - more suitable for branding/niche and without losing Google News traffic?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts - actually, this is even faster than I expected (I was thinking it might take 6–12 months for a new site).
I know that a Google News–approved domain usually goes for around 1.5k more or less.
The issue is that the one I found isn't exactly in my niche and...
Hi all,
just wanted to ask if anyone here has real experience - how fast can you get a new English site into Google News / Discover these days?
