Inherited PR?

renaming URLs

[keyplyr]

I renamed a couple pages to have more descriptive URLs. I have used:

Redirect 301 /old_name.html [domain.com...]

1.) Will the new page inherit PR from the old page?

2.) Will sites that link to the old page name continue to add linkage to the new page?

3.) Should I expect to see entries in my error log each time a referral is redirected?

I have a plethora of badly named pages (created when I was a newbe and didn't know any better!) I am considering renaming them all.

4.) Should this be done all at once or would it be better to do a couple at a time, or does it really matter?

Thanks.

RE Number One

Assuming most inbound links point to your home page, shouldnt PR sort itself out regardless of the changed URL's? I guess it would be a matter of when the bot picks up the new URL's.

The internal URLs I changed have significant linkage of their own; two of the pages have PR6. If by changing URLs to these pages, GG decreases their PR, then their linkage PR to my index page would decrease, affecting the overall PR of the site. So the first issue would be: will the newly named pages inherit the PR from the old URL names?
