I run a site we'll call widgetnet.com, and I recently purchased widget.net where I plan to move the site. I want to wait until after a specific event in order to completely make the move. However, in the meantime, I want to get something up on the new address saying we'll be moving soon but please go to our old site. Is this a type of move which can penalize one in the search rankings because it looks like you have a cloned site or something?

Setup a redirect to the new site and do the same with your other pages. If you do that you should have no problem!
