Changing to a new domain.

Someone said the PR will carry over with a 301 redirect.

I was searching for redirect information and came across the following statement:

"I suggest a 301 redirect via. htaccess if at all possible - I found this better as people who link to the old url have the PR sent to the new page."

Does this sound plausible? Is it possible to have the PR of your old domain transferred to the new one?

If so, could someone please explain how to set up the 301 redirect?

Thank you.

PR is transfered, at least to start with. Best to also try and get the links changed if you can.

Place this in your hta file:

redirect 301 / [newdomain.com...]

Thank you hurlimann.
