Before someone jumps at me, I did search the forum. I didn't really find what I was looking for...

I recently acquired nerld.com and have decided to replace my old domain (nerld.co.cc) with it. I was indexed by Google and was getting a little (lol very little) traffic. But still, it's a start, and I didn't really want to lose it.

I currently am redirecting all traffic from nerld.co.cc to nerld.com with the following .htaccess content:

Code:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.nerld.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Will this suffice to tell Google that I changed my domain name and that it should erase nerld.co.cc data and replace it with nerld.com data? Is Google smart enough to figure it out? What else should I do to try to maintain what little reputation I have on the internet? Thanks a bunch!

Yeah a 301 redirect will do the job fine.
