We thought we can just forward the old domain to the new one and the SEO would be fine since it is remaining on that server. What do you think? Hi,
We have a site that we recently re-designed and it has a new domain name and is on it’s own web host account. We thought we can just forward the old domain to the new one and the SEO would be fine since it is remaining on that server. What do you think?

You mention that even if we do use the 301, there is a chance of a drop in SEO. I'll be changing my site completely, new content, new directory structure, probably adding a CMS, and changing the navigation. What are your thoughts about running the old site along the new for a couple of months, until the new site is fully up to speed? Would that help? Thanks again for your insights.

It cost me a drop of 2 PR and I had half my site de-indexed. It's beginning to recover now... back on page one for some relevant terms in GOOGLE.<br/><br/>Keep up the good work!!<br/>The Pokerkeep Great advice… wish I had read this before making major changes.
