Rob from The Netherlands asks:
"Can the "Change of address" feature in Google Webmaster Tools be used to merge two websites (Site B becomes a part of Site A), or is its use limited to moving a site from one domain to another? Do you have any advice for successfully merging sites?"
This video is part of a "Grab Bag" series in which Matt Cutts, head of Google's webspam team, answers questions from webmasters.

I wonder why Google guys use the word "Microsoft" instead of "Bing"

The specific purpose of a 301 redirect is to change the URL of a page without breaking all the links coming to it.
Why would you advise a site owner to be responsible for the maintenance of backlinks beyond his control when there is a perfectly good system already in place?
If your answer implies that you will continue to devalue redirected links then okay, but I wish Google was smart enough to find the bait-and-switchers without ignoring the basic mechanisms of the internet in the process.
