Interesting! I think I understand what you are saying, but I can’t figure out how to do this since I cannot access the .htaccess file in my wordpress.com site. Am I understanding the process correctly?
How do I actually set up the 301 redirects from http://www.quietpilgrim.wordpress.com to http://www.quietpilgrim.com?
I see that once these redirects are in place I can submit a change of address in Google’s search console, but I’m not familiar with how to actually implement these 301 redirects. Any simple way to explain this? Much appreciated!
Also, since I have Jetpack connected to my new site and the old, I can’t tell how much of the traffic is from the wordpress.com site and how much is from the self-hosted domain. Any help would be much appreciated!
