Let say, my old domain example1 . com
I want to switch example2 .com

My first website have lot of post, pages and of course lot of backlinks, domain authority too.
Now, one of the reason, I want to change domain and it will be example2 .com
So, if i have a post url example1 .com/first-post
Now it will be example2 .com/first-post

Similarly all page, post will be redirect second domain.
I guess, I have to publish all post, pages in my new domain considering same kind permalink.

How can i do that?
What i need to change in the google, bing webmaster setting?
Please give me answer considering SEO perspective. Because, i want to transfer 100% link juice to new domain. And new domain post, page will get same rank that was getting my first domain.

I know it might be complex solution but i want to know how to do this.

Thanks in advance.

    There would be no more link juice.

    If you are asking this, I can only assume you bought a domain, did wordpress.

    And now, you actually want to become a webmaster, you have no idea.

    So any explanation would be worthless.

    To get the biggest, baddest, most efficient "link juice," you would put a link on the old main page, upfront and center, to the new domain. Complete with a short explanation that this site is no longer being updated, so visit the new site. You could also do this on each page very easy with WP.

    Now that is how to get the most link juice.

    Not only do you keep all indexed content, you now have a decent place to build backlinks on.

    Start doing new stuff on the new domain, leave the old. Heck, one could also imagine doing new posts on the old domain as well, linking up. Who knew? No transfer needed, no explanation.

    I still have no idea why so many people want to keep trashing one domain after another, as if chasing some mythical unicorn.

      Actually, one of my friend run a blog. His, blog main income amazon affiliate. For breaking one of the amazon policy amazon affiliate close his account.
      He is just frustrate.
      Thus, he want to use new domain but want to use all old article in the new domain. And old domain link power important for new domain otherwise he need to hard work again to improve his all post rank.

      This is because if amazon close affiliate account they do not allow same domain for their affiliate.

      I hope you understand why need to change domain.

      What would be best option for this problem.

      If he redirect all post in the new domain then posts will get any extra benefit of SEO?

    It is possible but you will need to do lots of work on your end, 301 redirects will be the only way for you to maintain your SEO. You do this via .htaccess. There is lot's of info out there on how to achieve a 301 (Permanent Redirect) However, you might need to maintain your old domain for sometime, a month or two.

      He will keep his domain. Permanent redirect is the best solution i think. I know how to do that. But main problem is SEO. How to pass all link juice to new domain and how to deal with webmaster that i need to know clearly to solve this.
      Can you give you few links regarding this. I am not getting satisfying answer.

    use 301 redirect from respective page of site.come to site2.com, site.com/page to site2.com/page... that way all positions and weight of the pages get moved, and everything gets indexed in some time. It's very important to set 301 redirect correctly, it's best to compile an exhaustive list of corresponding values, and fine tune within a single hosting. I had a bad example when it was done in different hostings

      Great. Just the answer i was looking for.
      Another question arise here, how to deal with google analytics or webmaster tool?
      Old domain all post have much weight, seo value. So, if i publish new post here that will rank easily. Right?
      Then, near future if i need to publish new post where i need to publish old domain or new domain?
      I guess, i need to publish new post at old domain then again need to redirect new domain?

      You have practical experience thus, i hope you will share your experience.
