    Is this the best way to forward traffic from my old blog to my new one?

    
<?
header("Location: http://mynewblogblahblahblah.com");
?>
    PHP:
    PR and traffic will forward to my new one correct?

    Thanks,
    Luke

    ive used that technique before.
    the PR remained intact and it kept the entries in google which helped get traffic to the new one.

    i just recently used robots.txt to block the old one. didnt want duplicate content issues.

    Also if you do 301 redirect you will recive the same result, but bots will stop visiting your old site.
