Re: Changing Domain name Well maybe you should contact the engines and have your old name and every link for it removed. I mean they will be deindexed anyway. So it might save you some time doing that. That way does not look like double content while your waiting for pages to drop and be reindexed. Also maybe make a nice splash page to leave on your old domain with a little message and a link to new domain name. I would have all links removed before changing the name.

Re: Changing Domain name I guess that a "splash page" won't work with the 301 redirect am i right? But at least i won't suffer much. Can you give me an example on how my redirect should look like? Cheers!

Re: Changing Domain name well if you want to have a spash page on the index.html or w/e extension, that would be good then I would redirect all the other links to the new url.
