So I fixed up all the broken links, get everything set to go. Tried to fix as many external links as possible.

What should I do to earn google ranking?
Is anyone interested in links exchange?
How do I drive more traffic?

All the things in general. Just want to hear what you guys did.

Google Webmaster Blog had a posting about this.  You can read it here

If your previous domain name is already indexed in search engines and have a good ranking - I'm strongly recommend you to do a "301 Moved Permanently" redirection for several months - in this way all your pages and current pages ranking will be kept on new domain name (after some time, when pages will be "re-crawled").

As your main page .co.cc have PR2 and probably all pages are well indexed - this will be good solution.
(unless you still want to use previous domain name for different purposes)

What do you mean 301? on 110mb server or on co.cc? I' pretty sure you can't do that on co.cc,  Don't you need htaccess? And you don't need to do this on 110mb server because it was a .co.cc domain

Well for it to be very effect, yes htaccess is good to redirect to an index file containing this:

Code:

<?
Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
Header( "Location: http://www.new-url.com" );
?>

If you don't have htaccess, just make a bunch of files with your old structure ("ex: site.co.cc/games") with that code in it, and you're good to go.

Can you assign editdns nameservers for your .co.cc domain?
If yes, then do this, at editdns set the URL forwarding WITHOUT URL cloaking to your new domain name and this will be great 301 moved permanently redirection.


This will cause that all your currently indexed/ranked URLs "kksnetwrok.co.cc/something" will be moved permanently to "thekks.net/something" and you'll keep all the SEO work that you did for kksnetwork.co.cc.

right now I have a page up saying that the site has moved at kksnetwork.co.cc. Are you suggesting just a url forward (no cloak) to thekks.net?

...with the code "301" - yes.
Advantages: all search engines will "reindex" your pages into new URLs, you'll keep the current position, ranking etc. - all the SEO work that you put into promoting previous domain will be still in use for the new.
Disadvantages: some users may not spot the change of the URL and don't update bookmarks. But the news on your main page that will bring their attention to it will fix that.

EDITDNS?

[Piotr GRD]

This seems to be reliable enough service for this. And simple to use.
You can set editdns nameservers for the domain.
And at editdns set the URL redirection without cloaking for domain and www.domain to newdomain.

But there are other services, too.
