Changing to a new domain

How do I tell googlebot about it?

I'm changing from a long domain to a shorter domain.

How can I tell the spiders that my site is now located at this new domain?

Hi, this is something that I am currently doing.

You need to use a htaccess. file, which is just a plain text file you put in your root directory.

You will need the following code in it:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?oldlongdomain\.com 
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L] 

Obviously you will have to keep your old page path names the same! ;)
