How can I redirect the entire old site.

Some bloggers are going to their old url’s and my current redirect isn’t working.

I am using this,

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN”>

<html>

<head>

<title>Blogging Wire Launched</title>

<meta http-equiv=”REFRESH” content=”0;url=http://www.bloggingwire.com”></HEAD>

<BODY>

Blogging Wire Launched Please wait for redirrect

</BODY>

</HTML>

Just this in a file:

<meta content="0; URL = http://bloggingwire.com" http-equiv="Refresh" />

New domains always have to spend at least a year in the Google “sandbox”. This is a period of time during which Google doesn’t really trust you because you’re new. As a result, moving a site from a long established domain to a new one can have a devastating impact on your Google rank. This is something that could take years to recover from. In this case, you’re much better off using a 301 redirect. Using a 301 will have ZERO negative impact on your Google rankings.

Good Point but it’s more or less for the members at blogengage so they can still get sent to the new site!
