[Hidden-tech] Permanent redirect okay?

[Colin Panetta]

Hey Claudia,

One of our programmers passed this along to me:
Setting up your old domain to point to your new one with a 301 redirect is
exactly what you should do.  301 indicates that any external tools (like
browser bookmarks and search engines) should use your new domain in the
future.  Assuming that your two domains serve different sites, you may lose
some traffic that would have gone to your old site simply because the
content will no longer be there (although the redirect will help people
find it in it's new location).  Setting up an individual 301 redirect for
each resource/page to its location on the new domain would help with this.
 If you later decide that you want to use the old domain, simply remove the
redirect, and you can begin rebuilding your SEO.

Best,
Colin
