Long story short.
My mom has a Calligraphy business. She is not tech savvy so she traded with a guy a few years ago some wedding invitations in exchange for the creation and hosting of a website for her.
Fast-forward to today. He notified her that she needed to host her site because he was changing domain names (which she has through Go-Daddy.com). The problem is that when you search Google, the old site comes up as the #1 item; and the new site does not show up at all.
So it looks like with Google Webmaster tools you can "verify" both old and new sites and notify them that way that the site has changed domains. Unfortunately we will need to have him upload files to server, and he has already changed the domain name (so I am not even sure it will load up properly cause the link has the old domain name). I have already verified the godaddy.com account.
Is there an easier way to do this? How long does it take for Google to "crawl" new sites?
