    Hello.
    Yahoo refers to my domain via an old name. I've changed hte name and use:
    RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
    Google seems to have picked up on this but Yahoo doesn't. Is there anything I can do to prod things along? Is this the right method in general for changing domain names? I don't want to lose all those old links :)

    Mocara.

    Nope... Yahoo does not do well with changing domain names. In my experience, it's taken about a year in some cases for Yahoo to finally show the new domain.
