301 Redirect?

I have one directory in a subdirectory as a sub the link is to a directory and has a decent PR.

I recently purchased a domain name and pointed it to that directory or subdomain but I have no PR.

The thing is I want to make my domain name for that directory permanent and stop using the subdirectory link. What is the best way to do this should I redirect the sub to the domain name and what redirect would I use and what would be the best method so I can keep my high PR?

 

301 redirect,of course!
It's said that G will transfer the PR to your new site if you do 301 redirect but I've never tried that ,so I'm not sure.

 

Agree with that, 301 is the safest way to go.

 

So I point the subdomain to the main domain?

 

Yes,you are right.

 

Traffic and PR will be passed...PR could take up to a year to fully transfer.

 

301 redirect provide to you transfer old site values to new one. This is best way.

 

THis will not cause a problem with duplicate?

 

I alos have the same q. I have this situation and would like to point my subdomain to a new domain. What would be the code for that?

I am guessing it would be like...

RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.subdomain.mysite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com [L,R=301]


I am right? Just wanted to make sure..

 

301 redirect is best for redirecting . you will loose nothink if you do this

 

Yah! 301 redirect is the anwser.

 

Bumping this thread once again. I really want to double check with the 301 redirect code for me. Just check my previous post, few above.

Can anyone confirm that is correct?
