Redirect old shop to new domain

[NicolaiTeglskov.dk]

I have an old Magento shop placed on a subdomain: http://webshop.teamout.dk/

Now I have created a new shop in another store system called ShopOrama on a new rootdomain:

What is the best way to get all my already indexed sites from google to redirect to my new site with the new META title + description?

I have tried the Magento > Catalog > URL Rewrite, but it contains over 500 redirects already and making custom redirects for all my sites will take a lot of time.

Because of the old site being a subdomain I can't change address in GWT.

I'm looking forward to your solutions

Hi Nicolai,

If you can make your URL structure the same you should just be able to do a 301 redirect rule in .htaccess. If the structure is the same then you'll only need 1 redirect instead of many.

For the title & meta descriptions, update them on your new site and the updated meta data take affect once Google has indexed the new site and redirects.

Here's a resource for more info on 301 redirects: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/93633?hl=en

Note: If your old domain has bad links or has been penalised, you may want to consider a 302 redirect so your new site doesn't inherit the old site issues.

I am nor able to have the same URL structure.

Should I make the redirects in .htaccess?

Having that many redirects in HTACCESS will use a lot of resources, especially if you get a lot of traffic. Try to get the URL structure as close as possible to cut down on the extra redirects. If that is not possible, then you will have to take the time and manually redirect each page to the new one. 500 is not really that many, and could most likely be finished in a full day, perhaps 1.5 days.

After you get all the pages redirected to the proper page on you new site, make sure you submit and updated sitemap and fetch request to get things moving. If you notice a drop in performance after redirecting the URLs I would look into a rewrite map.

I have made redirects for all my products on my old site at:

http://webshop.teamout.dk

To my new shop at:

http://www.climbtown.dk

What to do with the indexed pages of my old site? I would like the earned index status to refer to my new domain.
Using the site:webshop.teamout.dk returns 255 indexed pages:

https://www.google.dk/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=site:webshop.teamout.dk&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=XVX8VJvWOYfvOY6ggbgH

In Google Webmaster Tools I can't change the address, because of the domain being a subdomain. Any thoughts about getting my old domain indexed pages removed from Google?
