View Full Version : If I can't redirect to new url, how bad is forwarding it?

Google apparently can't index my new domain, because my old domain, which is un-hosted, is indexed and points to the new domain. A permanet re-direct, from the old domain to the new, would be the best way to go, but frankly, it's too much of a hassle to use a permanent redirect with FrontPage. (I'm told it can be done, but it's not easy.)

I was thinking about removing the "pointing to" scenario, so Google can see my new url, and index it, but then I'm afraid of not being in Google for awhile. I wonder if I stop the old domain from pointing to the new domain, and then set up an url forwarding service, if that will free up Google to index my new domain, while showing a listing of the old indexed domain? Thanks!
