    Hello.

    I am thinking to change the domain of one of my site... page rank - 1
    Alexa rank is around 60k, and its 3 year old domain... but i don't like the domain name and it doesn't suit the site also..

    I am thinking to buy new domain name and to redirect the current domain to the new one for at least 2 years..

    So what do you guys suggest should i change or not? will it affect my traffic?

    Any ideas suggestion will be appreciated...

    Thanks

    You should go for a domain name that reflects the nature of business you are in. It may affect the traffic for a few days until search engines recognize the new site, but you should use 301 redirection to avoid duplicate content and other such problems.

    If you set 301 redirection from old domain to new, it should not affect your website traffic as well as Google ranking.

    search google for 301 redirection html/java code.

    There is a few templates/examples you can use.
