      Dear SEO Gurus,

      I have been working on #2 site for a couple of months and I think it is a good idea to redirect #1 (old site) to #2 (new site) below, yes?  What is the most effective way of doing this?  Do I have to 301 Redirect one page from the old site to a relevant page on the new site and do this for every page.... or can I do a 301 redirect for the whole old site to the new site?

      Thank you for your time in advance for helping me out!

      Sheryl

        You really should redirect every page to a page thats similar that way you dont lose any existing rankings

          You can use this script, it will redirect all pages on the old domain to a new page in the new domain. this works is you are going to keep the same site structure and not change URLs.  If you do change URLs then i would suggest to 301 each old page to a new corresponding page on The new domain.

          RewriteEngine on

          RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com [nc]

          RewriteRule (.*) http://www.olddomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

          Redirect 301 / http://www.newdomain.com/

            You should also inform Google of your change of address via Google Webmaster Tools.
