I have found a better hosting company as well as other benefits to build a site from scratch. In the process I have found a domain nme that has a strong keyword for my site if I decide to go with it. However there are some benefits to transferring my domain name. 1. After quite a bit of work for over 6 to 9 months I finaly have a page rank of 2. I know that is not much but it is better than starting off with 0. I have backlinks from both article directories and regular directories and I am in the major search engines but have no real ranking. 2 If I move my domain will these benefits come with me or will I have to start over? 3 If I go to a domain name with a new keyword or keywords is that worth not having the benefits my old domain name gave me mentioned earlier?
You will have to start over. Your old domain won't have any benefits but you could do a permanent redirect IT
