Hello!
I have a problem

I have a olddomain.com and I have bought another newdomain.com. How could I use newdomain.com to have the same web site content with olddomain? It's about changing the DNS? Or? I dont want URL forwarding. How could I transfer ranking?

Please help me.

Many thanks
Dan

hm..

you could frame newdomain.com .. build a page with a frameset, put it at olddomain.com and have the main image show newdomain.com .. clear as mud? the page at olddomain.com could have this code:

<frameset cols="0,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame src="" name="leftFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize>
<frame src="http://www.newdomain.com" name="mainFrame">
</frameset>

would that accomplish your task?

Uset the HTML Refresh meta tag.
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="3;URL=http://www.newdomain.com">

the number is the number of seconds for the refresh to delay.

Personally I would start a new account for the new domain, copy the files from olddomain.com to newdomain.com, and 301 redirect [google.com] to the new domain.

If you're running the same content on the new site, using 301 redirects to map page to page is the best way to get the search engines to index the new pages.
