It seems google webmaster tools allows you to change your website’s domain name, the only problem i am facing is how do i move the contents of a sub domain into a domain name, and how to move the contents of a domain name to a sub domain.

For the moment, using 301 redirects seems to allow this “Slowly”, but the question is why can it not be done through google webmaster tools.

On a relevant note, for the first 3 days of changing a website from a domain name to another, google has been crawling the 3 thousand page website at a rate of 1000 pages/day which is more or less all the pages of the website.

If you have any thoughts about this google address change thing, please let me know as i am interested in knowing what differences exist between this method and simply redirecting all pages with 301.
