... or Google, to be more specific.
I have recently copied my web site to a new isp and I have inserted "relocated" warnings on my old site pointing to the new one. It was my expectation that gradually, over time, the new site would be 'found' by Google (and others) and that my hits would slowly increase. I also expected that hits to my old site would probably remain fairly constant.
WRONG!
One day Google found my new site and hits to my old site have almost stopped. It's as if Google has figured out that one replaces the other. Is this what everyone else would have expected?
