Help! Need to change domain name...but...

Hey folks,
I have a PR5 site that is ranked 1-2 for my main keywords in Y, MSN, and Google. I have outgrown the scope of my domain name and now I want to change the domain name to reflect broader content of my site. Therefore, I want to change the domain name.

What is the best way to do this without losing my excellent SE rankings? A redirect?

Thanks for any tips/advice!

 

I suggest use 301 redirect - moved pernamently. Here is the example:

<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://www.your-domain.com");
header("Connection: close");
?>

 

dont give up the old domain.. use the 301 redirect

 

htaccess permenant redirect of all pages to their new pages on the new domain.
