A WebmasterWorld thread has some SEOs and Webmasters sharing their recent experience with switching to new domains and how Google and Bing handle that switch.

The first case was shared by senior member, HuskyPup who said that after switching over and 301 redirecting the URLs from the .in TLD to the .com version of the TLD, Google and Bing both ranked the new domain in the number one spot after a single week.

The site was previous ranked in the first position for that specific keyword and a week after the switch over, the new domain, the .com version, ranked number one in it’s place.

He said:

Another person came into the thread and said he was not so lucky. But it is hard to tell if he followed the correct steps.

Have you seen the same quick results in Google and Bing recently?
