    I have a site (A.com) which is getting around 5k traffic. 95% traffic coming from Search Engine. So, now i want to redirect this site to (B.com).

    Please tell me, if i will redirect my site then it will affect my site ranking or not??

    thanks

    No, if you do it properly, it shouldn't affect your rankings. Use a 301 redirect
    http://www.webconfs.com/how-to-redirect-a-webpage.php and you should be fine.
    Fortunately this is not difficult to do. You'll need to add the following lines of code to a file called .htaccess and place it in the root directory of the old domain:
    Code:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?old-domain\.com$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.new-domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

    juliensimon is very much right. ranks will not drop if you use 301 redirect.
