    if you redirect the domain to a different domain, you will lose all the backlinks that point to it. However if you are just changing the landing page or redesigning it, then there's no problem

    you probably would, although initially you keep your rankings, google will figure it out sooner or later and then you drop

    Redirecting will pass PR juice, but I think your SERP will be affected.

    thanks for the replies. What I plan on doing is changing the site from being a wordpress blog to a simple landing page. So it would be the same domain just different index page on the site.
    A few of the posts on the blog have keywords that are top ten in google, would I loose those from google?
    Also what if that index page was a simple php redirect page to another site?
    thanx again
