redirecting a domain

[nudelinks]

Hi good Saturday march 1st peoples. Have a question. I am losing a lot of traffic off a domain that I am redirecting directly to another site through Godaddy. There are hundreds of pages indexed, but they are not forwarding. How do you forward a domain so all the links out there get to redirect to the new site.

What I do is setup the site on my server, point the domain there, add an index page which redirects where ever I want and have .htaccess do the same for 404's...

Do you want all olddomain.com/page.html to be redirected to newdomain.com/page.html or just all olddomain.com/pages.html to newdomain.com?
Also, is it using WP or no?

everything on the old domain to the index of the new site and no the new site is not a WP site

why would wp make a difference in the redirection?

Redirecting instead of parking it at your registrar onlt makes sense.

Milking the search traffic off a domain is sweet

when you redirect a domain will you end up losing all the links indexed by Google?

eventually but you can still get a lot of good search traffic while it lasts.

all good things have to come to an end eventually.

When I buy a domain that has back links I put up a wordpress site , why redirect it and lose all that free traffic, go or sales.

htaccess does the trick

For what it's worth I always did it with htaccess

Look into "masking" if you do redirects.
