change domain name and preserve indexing

I would point them both to the same domain, submit the new domain name, and in about a month to six weeks they should pick up the new domain. I don't know if I would turn off the current domain, I would do a search for sites that are linked to you in Google and some of the other search engines. Link popularity is very important these days. After a domain name change (unintentional) I am still finding links to the old domain and trying to get the links pointing to the correct place :)

If you wish to take my own experience with search engine optimization, I would strongly recommend you to do the following:

 

1. *maintain* the existing domain name (esp. if it has SE rankings/inbound linkages)

 

2. Build useful links from existing domain to the new domain.

 

3. Ask everyone who is linking to the existing domain, to include the new domain too. And, tell them how they will benefit from it (richer content, new features, etc.)
