Please help! I have domain ONE and after a year i decide i want to start using domain TWO So, i uppload the new site (Domain TWO) and take down the pages from domain ONE. 1) I do a 302 permanent redirect from domain ONE to domain TWO?? 2) If yes, after some time i will have google positions of new domain in place of were the old domain was. assuming everything else stays the same. Correct?? 3) A year later i get domain THREE. I point domain TWO via 302 redirect to domain THREE. ---> What do i do with domain ONE. Should i keep renewing and pointing or at this point only domain TWO relevant?? ---> I think it needs to stay cause back links would be to domain ONE. ----> How many times can you jump like that?? THANK YOU!!!
I would not leave #1 directed to #2. I would change it so that it went directly to #3. All previous domains should point to the one current domain, IMO. The 301 redirect (you said 302 which is temp) is not a backlink. It tells the bot that the old domain has moved. All old links to domain #1 are then transferred to *the same* page on the new domain. So the most important factor in the move is makng certain that each old page forwards to a page with the same name on the new site. /*tom*/
