Usage of the 301 redirects will prevent any possible duplicate content issues. You are basically telling the search engines that the old pages have been permanently moved from that old domain to the new one. This will help the new domain get indexed quicker. I believe Elan, will be following this post up with an in depth view of how to do 301 redirects. Yes, Jay that’s correct.

But i have a concern that if we keep up the old site and the files, is there a chance that search engines can penalise for duplicate content or can .htaccess prevent indexing the page if redirects are written. Can we just place the .htaccess and delete all other files in the old domain so that in no way contents can be duplicated? Can you suggest which is the best option?
