Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Goghby Chuck Ayoub,11/15/2006
This Vincent van Gogh site was done either in late 2004 or early 2005.
Creating this site spanned a couple of weeks mainly because of the 800 van Gogh Letters I collected and posted on the site. I never quite got around to finding a nice format for them so they still look kind of slopped on.
This van Gogh site has had a shaky past. I first hosted it on my old Worldnet account but when the service was going through a bad time and running too slow, I decided to move it to my Classic Rock Lyrics domain. Now being new to SEO (search engine optimization) at the time, I had no idea this was going to kill my search rankings and cause all of the pages to fall into Google's infamous supplemental index, which is exactly what happened. I didn't have access to the Worldnet server to provide a 301 redirect (which is the correct procedure to use when moving sites).
So after the move, traffic on the site was virtually dead - and figuring this site didn't really belong on a lyrics site anyway, I just moved it for a last time to a domain with the term 'vincentvangoghart' in it.
Can this van Gogh site recover after finding what should be it's last home? I hope so.
