Yea but can't you use canonical tags on the original site so Google's index is updated with the new URL, thus avoiding duplicate content problems?

- artursapek 11y agoThis was my thought, as well. It seems like a safer, softer way to test out the transition.
- eli 11y agoSo no redirects for anyone going to an old URL?
- mikeg8 11y agoI would definitely set up 301 redirects to get the user to the new domain but from for concerns purely about duplicate content, the canonical tags should be sufficient enough to prevent page rank damage.
