    Hey guys,
    I was using a 3rd level domain for a keyword in url. Now I got a new domain name for the keywords I needed. My question is, what is the best way to go about redirecting 404's etc and with new sitemaps?

    Here is what I've did...
    I added in my apache vhost config 404 /404.php
    in 404.php is header(location: index.php)
    now mod_rewrite is writing the old sub.domain.com to newdomain.com
    I created a new sitemap and added it to my dashboard at google...

    Any tips or steps i need to take you guys can think of?

    Thanks,
    ~RD

    Setup your old pages to permanently redirects to the new locations for the pages. OldUrl_PageXYZ should redirect to NewUrl_PageXYZ

    I don't think I'll accomplish that :)
