what to do with the old domain?

extra · Dec 11, 2012

Hello
I have domain+web site for 4 years that index very well.
Know for some reasons i have to change the domain with the business name and the content
I create new web site with new domain, should i point the old domain to the new site in order to index it well like the old site?
should i point it directly or 301 redirect or some other way?

Thanks

The old domain index on first page.
the new one is far away from first page so how do i use the first domain in order to help the second one

You could just input in WMT that you're changing your domain, and follow their instructions. This way you're not going to lose anything, despite changing practically everything.

place a 301 redirect, this will index your new domain quickly. Alternatively you can also use a link above the fold with a message "we have shifted to newsite.com".
if both sites have same content, don't forget to implement canonical tag.
