    Hi All

    I'm trying to weigh up the pros and cons of changing my sites domain name to have one that has got my relevant keywords in there, I currently have a PR 2 site with PR on many of the inner pages, so my question is if I set up a 301 redirect will I get the same PR on my new domain as my old domain? Can I leave all the current links to the old domain name and still get the benefit of them on my new domain? Also I will redirect the inner pr2 pages to new html page names on the new site, will I need to also set up 301 redirects in the these pages or does the spider see the index page and immediately redirect to the new domain and not bother spidering the rest of the site?

    Thanks
