Change domain

I am running a etablished gambling related website and I have to change my domain

from : nameofmywebsite.no

to : nameofmywebsite.com

I will have to change because it is not allowed to host gambling related websites with .no domain.

The site is nr 1 in Google Norway for relevant keywords.

Can someone tell me how to do this change the best possible way ?
Should I make a 301 redirect from every single page on the .no domain ?
Or just delete the files on the .no domain ?

Happy if someone could give me advices!

Thanks for a great forum.

Install a 301 redirect from .no to .com for all pages of the site; using two lines of code in your .htaccess file.

Make sure that all incoming links are changed to point to the .com version of the page, sometime over the next few months. Add a <base href="http://www.domain.com/"> tag to all pages of the site to reinforce the change. Make sure that all internal links resolve to the new domain.

Check the entire site using both Xenu LinkSleuth and WebBug for problems.
