Panda Update 2.2 Recovery - Change the Domain Name?
Change of Domain Name for friedmanfineart {dot} net ???
Would it be beneficial to change the domain of a web-site that experienced severe ranking loss after Panda Update 2.2 was released? Furthermore, in addition, would it be beneficial to change the registrant name to recover and start with a new web-site name leaving all of the content the same, just changing the name of the domain and the registrant? Isn't Google smart enough to figure this out and it would be literally like starting at square one?
A little bit of history on this project, after 11 months our rankings have not improved after a drastic ranking level decrease and Page Rank loss depreciation from 4 to 3. We have not been able to recover our rankings even after rebuilding the web-site in WordPress and removing questionable links where possible that contained duplicate content.
Our baseline rankings are measured by manually monitoring the SERPS placement for base keywords and compare them against the completion and overall ranking position. We have spent a lot of time developing links with social networking, press releases, blogs, bookmarking sites, article publishing site, link directories, reciprocal linking, remembering a little bit of everything is a good thing. We have found blogs to be the most effective. In some searches, the blogs are outperforming the primary web-site probably due to duplicate content or just the fact of being higher authoritative web-sites (PR6/7/
.
We have attempted to follow White Hat SEO practices for the last 18 months and really haven't seen a significant increase over our competition. We have established link-building strategies that have been effective and appear in Google Webmaster Tools, but the competition just seems to over-rank us all of the time in the SERPs.
Any answers, suggestions, recommendations, or comments are greatly appreciated. We are in no way trying to produce spam or backlinks here, we are truly seeking expert advice.
Best regards,
Webmaster

You can do that. Google will track that but there is nothing wrong with that. You can change your domain name that means you got new website the only thing you have to be sure about that before utilizing the existing website's content make sure your previous website does not exist anymore in search engines.
