Ok, I need some sharp ideas from some sharp minds. I just made a major website acquisition (To be announced officially later this week) how do I transition the site? I mean, should I just make all links on the site auto-forward to my current site? Or should I delete al content on the site, so that everyone that visits it goes to a 404 splash page that says, company x, has been acquired by company y? Also, I know I have to keep in mind maintaining the SE traffic, if I take down all the page, and forward them to a 404, will search engines start to drop all the links?
Any and all feedback is appreciated!!
