Transfer MSN Rankings

    My site, www.MySite1.com had a subpage that was surprisingly ranked for 'keyword1' which is quite large, and I though "Hey if its this to be ranked for 'keyword1' on accident, why not make a site dedicated to it'.

    Well, my next though was, is there anyway to trasfer the MSN 'credit' so to speak from www.MySite1.com/keyword1.php to a new keyword-1.com?

    Could I use a 301 or something?

    You could try using a 301 redirect to try to influence the search engines of thinking you changed locations. It's quite possible that will work. I know for sure it will work for PageRank (Google), but I'm not sure if MSN will think the same. I'm ranked #1 for my keywords, but my keywords are also my domain-name.com.

    Ok, thanks, I willtry a 301.

    <?
Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
Header( "Location: http://www.new-url.com" );
?>
    Code (markup):
    That is the correct format for a PHP 301 right?

    Same question/problem ?

    Been doing some research, but no clear answer.

    I think we basically have 2 techniques:
    1) the 301 redirect.
    2) Create a simply 1 page with 1 link.

    and maybe a third ?
    3) A mixture (scripting alternate behavior of point 1) and point 2) ?

    What do the pros advise ?

    Update:
    For yahoo the answer is here:
    http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearc...dexing-08.html
    http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearc.../slurp-11.html

    but I read Yahoo is slow could take month in some cases....

    Still have to figure out MSN and Google...

    Update2:
    Looks like Google is not very "friendly" about it. They pretty much say: "ask your backlinks to update all the old links":
    http://www.google.com/webmasters/3.html
    Mixed review with 301 from this guy (all in all looks like it did hurt him to much):

    Thanks,

    I'm considering doing the opposite.

    Can I transfer rank from myoldsite.com -> mynewsite.com/kwpage.html

    Only that one page contains the keywords for myoldsite.com

    I can create a redirectmatch 301 in apache to do this.

    Will it work for yahoo, google, msn :confused:

    Would it be better to just 301 myoldsite.com to mynewsite.com ?

    Yahoo is pretty clear about that, you doing case number 2. It will not work with Yahoo:
    http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/slurp/slurp-11.html

    "Would it be better to just 301 myoldsite.com to mynewsite.com ?"
    Code (markup):
    Yes for Yahoo. That would be the first case (see Yahoo link).
