Hello

I just bought a new domain and I'd like to transfer all my SEO efforts/PR to the new domain

I did the 301 redirect using the code below in the root directory of my old domain:
==============
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ NEW-URL.html [R=301,NC,L]
================

Please advise if this is the best way to do redirect to the new domain with PR and link juice

my site structure has entire changed, i switched from oscommerce to magento

so what can i do so that ALL pages from the old sites are redirecting to the ONE URL i specify on 301 redirect?

please help ..

Thank you all ..

The htaccess rules you have there will redirect all pages to the new domain.

However, I'd recommend you don't redirect everything to one page. If your structure has changed, you should at least try to redirect the main pages to the appropriate new page.

  If it's a small number of pages, it probably doesn't matter much, but if you are talking about hundreds or even thousands of pages, then Google may see that as trying to artificially pass on PR as the original intent of 301 redirects was a one to one relationship.

Hi dear your code is correct for 301 redirection, you can redirect and old page to new page with this code. But do it only for your important pages of site i mean to say don't use it for hug pages of a site.
