Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Interesting. Keep us posted, will you Eblan? I'm curious to know how this works out.

There are number of other signals you can send the search engines to try to speed up indexing of the new site, Eblan. once new site is live, resubmit xml sitemap to both Google And Bing Webmaster Tools use Fetch as Googlebot and Fetch as Bingbot on each Webmaster Tools to crawl and submit the most important pages from each of the most important sections of the site earn some new links to the pages of the new site (social media is especially useful for this - remember to update address in all SM profiles) request that high-value links pointing to old site are updated to new site (this can take some outreach to other webmasters - start this process well before the new site is to go live). Hope that helps? Paul P.S. Here's an extensive SEOMoz post on the steps to implement and monitor a domain migration. And here's a great migration checklist infographic. You're going to want to get  as much of this right as possible, as there can be considerable risk when doing this kind of major change

Hi DHStom, Thank you for your recommendation, I will start working on this strategy. Cheers
