Hello all, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I fear the main problem I have is that our business outsourced the building of our website so gaining access to the code is limited to main content regions but I digress, here's my situation.
Our new website is currently on www.lewiscollege.eu and is running alongside our original website www.lewiscollege.co.uk during this transition period.
Our old site did ok on page rank in relation to our main products, I'm really keen to keep this performance when we move fully to the new site.
I got Google to crawl the new site 10 days ago but the page rank for .eu is virtually non-existent. So here are my questions;
- Have I not given enough time for Google to implement crawl stats?
- Is the original website (domain name, links, etc) preventing the new website from performing/appearing well on Google?
- Are the principles of SEO very different on a Drupal site as opposed to a basic html page? I guess it's worth noting that the site designer is accessible and willing to make changes for me but obviously I would prefer to be in a situation where I can make changes when and where I see fit rather than having to wait for him all the time, is there anything I can suggest to him to include within site that would make this attainable?
Many thanks
Simon

Beware of duplicate content!
Running an older version of your site alongside the new one puts you into the duplicate content realm.
Drupal provides many SEO modules that can help boost your site's ranking here are a few:
As far as the difference between Drupal and basic HTML page, I found that with Drupal it is important to define what search engines have access to and hide anything that can be a potential SEO issue. XML Sitemap can certainly help with that task.
Hope this helps,
