    Hi Experts,

    Recently I've edited domain Name from www(dot)my-website(dot)net to www(dot)mywebsite(dot)net.
    Hence, I'd like to know what are the necessary changes need to be done as far as SEO is concerned.

    I've generated and submitted new sitemap and done new site verification on Google WebMaster. Generate back-links report and contacts site owners to change the URLs.

    It's been almost 15 days and I see decreasing traffic on Google Analytics.

    So, I'd like to know is there anything remains from my end. How much time will Google takes to index all the URLS with new domain? How much time will Google Analytics will take to count normal traffic as before?

    Would like to hear your opinions.

    Whenever a domain name changes or webpage removed or webpage renamed, redirect all the website pages to the new domain. Use only 301 (permanent) server side redirect. I guess this will work for your website.

    You could also try with Apache Redirect/Alias.

    It's been done by 301 permanent redirect. Is there anything missing out yet?
