Parking Domain Vs 301 Redirect

Currently I have a site with the domain xxxxB.com, the site used to have the domain xxxxA.com, since ive recently switched it to the new domain I parked xxxxA.com on top of xxxxB.Com via Cpanel. Is this alright? Will PR, backlinks etc. go over to xxxxB.com or should I just an htaccess 301 redirect? If so, can anyone provide me a code snippet for that?

 

The consensus that I found was park and 301 redirect. Otherwise it does look like duplicate content.

 

Its wierd, when I enter the mod_rewrite info into the htaccess as a 301 I get an error saying this URL has exceeded its redirect limit, or something to that effect..

 

Just do a 301 redirect... however i expirencied many cases when the 301 redirect didn't passed pagerank or serps possitions, or whatever... much more it even hurt the serps for both domain names

 

So your saying, set up domain xxxxA.Com as an addon domain, or on another hosting account and have the index page being a 301 to xxxxB.Com?

 

if you want to pass the pagerank/traffic/backlinks/serps from siteA.com to siteB.com then yes

 

I would use both, as I use both and recommend it.

For example. I have 1 free host that I use to host fantasypc.frih.net

Then I got very interested in my site and wanted to go bigger. I registered this domain www.fantasy-pc.com and bought a real host.

I parked the domain from my old free host, and I used a 301 redirect on the new site.
