<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>I've got a site on an old googlepages.com site that has a fairly high searching engine result for choice keywords and I'd like to redirect search engines to a new domain address. Now I understand that this can be accomplished with 301 redirects but I do not have that level of control through the googlepages interface on the old site.</p>
<p>So I did some research and I found <a href="http://www.labnol.org/internet/switch-from-blogger-to-wordpress/9707/" rel="nofollow">one solution</a> that seems feasible. In this solution the author suggests that you:</p>
<ol>
<li>Replace your current site with a single link to the new site which also passes parameters which tell which page it's coming from.</li>
<li>On that page figure out what is the corresponding page on the new site.</li>
<li>Send a 301 redirect back to the browser to the corresponding page.</li>
</ol>
<p>So the question is, is this feasible and will it work? Are there better solutions out there?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
