16We’ve finally decided on a new domain name for our new jewellery shop.
As I’m so busy at the moment, I’m keen to have my wife do as much as possible and learn as much as she can. However, I will need to install and setup the software.
We need to transfer the license for the shop software and modifications to the new site. I’m also going to just copy the products table across, so she can edit the content a little.
So we don’t get penalised by google we’re going to make the old site just a collection of images of each page with links to the pages on the new site.
However I’m still worried about being penalised by google.
My question are …
Should we just get the domain now, so it will age the domain, even if the content isn’t finished?
At some point we will have duplicate content, should we be worried about this?
If so, what should we do for the best?

Buy the new domain ASAP and put a page on it
containing text on the topic of a jewellery shop. This’ll let
Google age the domain knowing it’s about jewellery.
If it can be avoided, don’t have duplicate content for too
long.
Just thinking.
Should I just forward the Old shop urls to the new pages
on the new site, using rewrites?
Or is it worth doing screen dumps and keep the old site
with links from each page to the new page ?
