asked on Change domains and hosting for a site for getting better Google ranking
Hi experts!
Our company site is dv-play.com and recently we do some change with idea to improve our google ranking. My question is connected with Spanish section of our site . We buy a dv-play.es and move it to the other server located in Spain. So I delete the Spanish folder in primary server dv-play.com and put on it’s place a page for redirection with mouse click. You can see it here:
http://dv-play.com/espanol/index.htm
For now I go on position that best will be – new site indexed as new via dv-play.es . But already 8 days this do not happen ..look that google do not index at all our new dv-play.es site. Do I need to do special action to invaite google to index our new site?
But I start asking myself is this best which I should do? I read about 301 redirection – may be it will be better? Or what would you do if you ware on my place? The goal is to get best possible google ranking, and in the same time many users will find a English section and when find that Spanish section is available will go on it so I want this link to be used for improve ranking too.
I’m afraid finally thinks to not goes worst. Here in Bulgaria there is saying – we do it to make it better, but it happen as always did (worst) .. help to not go on this position, please :-)

Thanks for both answers! ooop - i have wrong link to the Spanish domain - thanks a lot! I fixed it.
301 redirect ... Let me ask, the old Spanish site has some rank in google, is have meaning to try to preserve it? I believe best will be to be indexed as new site - I'll do the Google SiteMap. What do you think?

10x to both of your!
Google may keep the ranking or may drop it. Try and hold on to as much of the ranking as possible.
Use a backlink checker like majestic SEO or SEOmoz's site explorer and find out who is already linking to the Spanish site.
If they are linking to pages that no linger exist, add 30 redirects to where you think they should go.
