Firstly, would using a 301 redirect make sense in the following scenerio:
I have a website (let's call it site A) that seems to have been penalized by google and now google doesn't recognize the home page of the site. So I was thinking of making a new site (let's call it site B) with a new URL and new hosting, etc. but with almost exactly the same content of site A.
I would shut down site A, and do a 301 redirect to site B.
My main concern is that site B won't be penalized in any way, and will be properly indexed by google.
Secondly, how do I do a 301 redirect?
Thanks for any help.
