Hello I have great domain, which has great rankings' position and gives me heavy traffic (over 1 000 000 users/monthly) , but for some marketing reasons it needs to be changed to the new one. How to do it painlessly? I can not afford loosing even a part of the traffic from SE. What would be your advice? Should I use it 301 or 302 redirect? Or maybe there is some smart way to do this?
So what do you think about this article: http://www.highrankings.com/issue142.htm#guest (Guest Article :Switching to a New Domain Without Losing Your Google Rankings) It suggest to have 301 first and switching to 302 later. And how this 301 redirect will effect my positions? Will it be just switching domain name and positions will remain steady or should I expect some losses? And is the changing IB links necessary? It would be impossible, since those are natural links.... Regards
