301 Redirect – how soon will new website benefit?
Our company has a good customer base built up since 2002 and currently is undergoing a rebrand from one website domain which is No.2 on Google Page 1 (using organic search keywords ‘personalised cards) www.remind4u.com
I am undergoing SEO work but I need to know more about how soon it will take Google to recognise the new website and domain www.funkypigeon.com and the 301 redirect traffic and be on page one as remind4u.com is at present.
The new website has been SEO optimised by myself in advance, HTML tags, keywords, ALT tags, Google Analytics is set up and Google Webmaster code installed, some directories and backlinks already in place, we have a blog, facebook page, twitter account, bebo and myspace, everything is set for the launch on Friday 9th October.
So, when the day comes for the 301 redirect to be applied, the old site will slowly lose rank, but how soon (hours / days / weeks?) will the new website build up Google’s trust and ranking?
