Hello, I got a client who wants to relaunch his old forum which was online since early 2000s and was online until around 2021 and then it all went offline. The original domain was lost to squatters and is unrecoverable. However the domain is blank and all indexed content from search engines has been dropped. Client thinks about migrating to IPS and relaunching it on another domain (which at the time of speaking is already 1.5 years old). The forum has around 300k posts and 15k topics. So I don't think it would be a good idea to just one day drop the forum online and probably overwhelm and then watch Google ignore it.. I have no experience in such situations myself so I ask you what would be the wisest course of action here on how to gradually re-introduce the forums' content for search engines (Google mainly I guess). I asked Chat GPT for advice, here's what I got. However I'm not even sure IPS Suite can do that? Can it? Client would be using IPS version 4. Any advice would be appreciated. Since the forum is massive, you want to gradually reintroduce content rather than dumping it all at once. Gradual Sitemap Submission Instead of submitting a huge sitemap with 300k URLs, break it down into smaller, categorized sitemaps (e.g., by year or forum section). Submit only a few sitemaps first, wait for Google Search Console to index them, then gradually add more. Monitor Google Search Console > Indexing to see if Google is crawling too aggressively or not enough.
