They old pages have good pr, lot of backlinks, good keywordranking etc.
The new site is up and running and they now redirect the traffic from old domain to new domain with php 'included'. (Old name with new content) The new site structure is not the same as the old one (some new some the same, dua to new, changed products etc.)
I ask for advice what strategie would benefit the transfer of old pr and keywordranking to new site in the long run?
1a-would that be (ask to) change all backlinks to new domain?
1b-use some kind of redirect? wich displays the new sitedomain urls insite the old domain without changing the backlinks?
2-build new backlinks for the new site
3-optimize the new site ofcourse

No, Will not help.

Ofcourse.
You should keep the old site and direct visitors to the new site. Be careful of duplication, new site should be different from the old one.
Eh?
Search / read up on 301 redirects.
.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [newdomain.com...] [R=301,L]
the old site is now the same as the new site.
This is bad cause off duplicate punishment?
And when I make teh old site non crawlable for spiders?
Search / read up on 301 redirects..htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [newdomain.com...] [R=301,L]
sorry, I dont understand, where can I read more about 301 redirects?
read up on 301 redirects
Shrirch, does a 301 redirect pass PR and anchor text effect from old site to new site?
Still should get those links changed if you can.
and this depends on what?
At least it's supposed to do that...
It depends on how fast the search engines get around to crawling, indexing, and updating. After you do the 301 permanent redirect, it's out of your hands.
