PR passing from subdomain redirect

[Ma2T]

Hey everyone,

I have a domain, which I recently found has a dominate site linking to it. The site which is linking has a PR of 8, and also about 40 or so pages with a PR of 7.

This was a nice surprise to find. The problem is, they all link to a subdomain which I no longer have. (Unfortunately the site linking to me is no longer updated, so I can't get these links fixed).

If I were to setup a permanent redirect from the subdomain to the main site, would this pass on the PR?

Thanks for all the help.

Yes, a 301 redirect will pass PR, eventually any way. Just be sure it's a single redirect and not a chain of several before the destination url is reached. that is, do not go from subdomain >> without-www >> with-www or anything like that.

Great stuff tedser, many thanks for your help, as always.

On a related note,

I am not too sure what to do with this domain right now.

So, could I use a permanent redirect to another of my domains and pass on PR?.

If so, would it pass the PR? and would this be dodgey / bad in googles eyes?

Many thanks
