Hi there.. I had a Tech Blog since 2008 ,but I dont want to renew that domain anymore and I want it to become the blog of my company site. My old site was a complete blog, www.abc.com But now, I want it to keep it at www.company.com/blog/ So, my concern is, when Im going to submit my new company site and its blog on Google and their sitemaps, is Google going to consider them as duplicate content from my old site ? Is there any way, I can abandon my old site and domain, and just redirect them to my new domain ? Or is there any way, I can make Google realize that, im transferring the blog to a new place ??
Google has a proper tutorial about moving address. http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2008/04/best-practices-when-moving-your-site.html A post related to this feature: http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/020200.html
