Six months ago I 301 redirected old.com to new.com. After you read some truths of my site, I appreciate any suggestion or comment you may have.

Some truths:

1. old.com uses a shared IP before redirected. new.com is a new domain.

2. old.com and new.com are now on the same server, sharing one IP address.

3. old.com keeps some old html pages, which won't have any chance to be viewed, because the 301 .htaccess file works.

4. Server Header Check [webmasterworld.com] of old.com:

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2004 19:12:20 GMT
Server: Apache
Location: my new.com domain name here
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Server response time:less than 1 second

5. old.com had a PR6 before 301 redirected, and now new.com has PR5. I lost one inbound link after redirected (the guy removed the link to old.com and did not add the new link to new.com). There are still some links to old.com on some forums or blog pages, referenced by others which is out of my control.

6. Google allinurl: www.old.com site:www.old.com returns N results (R_old), allinurl: www.new.com site:www.new.com returns 10*N results (R_new), and intersection of R_new and R_old is empty.

7. During 18/Oct/2004:04:21:36 to 18/Oct/2004:14:31:16 (ten hours), Googlebot 2.1 visited old.com 24 times

8. During 18/Oct/2004:04:21:36 to 18/Oct/2004:14:31:16 (same period), Googlebot 2.1 visited new.com 43 times, 24 of them are 301 redirected from old.com

9. I almost forgot this site because the income from this site decreased MUCH since 301 applied.

10. I got a new IP address and decide to redesign the new.com and move it to the new IP.
