Google Community - View Single Post - Got better domain for existing site. What now?

cmartinez · 10-10-2007, 05:32 AM

Ok so here is the question, I have a site up and it's been up for less than a year. I am not sure if this is good or not but currently it holds a PR 2, I am guessing this isn't good or bad, but it seems to be average per many sites i've compared to.

I have been looking into SEO and Domain Names and have found many articles that describe how keywords in your domain name help. So recently I got 2 new domain names that contain my keywords and I want to use them. But how?

Can I use, what I believe to be the better domain name (the new one) as the primary, and do a 301 redirect from my original domain to the new domain. Also, if this is done, I would "obviously" have to move all of my content, would this mean that I would loose my current PR 2?

Any help would be seriously appreciated. Thanks all!
