Hi, i run a popular top list of websites on one of my sites, its currently located at: mydomain .com/mytoplist, its very popular with 500+ members and a PageRank of 4. My main site it is located off has a PageRank of 5!

Im looking into moving the top list onto its own domain, but would like your advice on the following quesion first:

Will moving the site onto its own domain effect the current websites PageRank, with 500+ sites link to: mydomain .com/mytoplist/voteid=12345, or will it be un-effected as they all link to a sub-directory of that site,,,,,i have no idea on this!

hpe you understand what im trying to say!

They will be effected and its better to make a 301 permanent redirect from the subdomain to the new domain on one to one basis.

shabbirbhimani is right a 301 redirect is your best shot..


Basoone

thanks for the help u 2, i hadnt heard of a 301 before ,quite simply because iv never had to re-direct visitors to another area before, but i found this site on google, which explains that 301 is the best 'search engine friendly' method, but gives various methods on how to perform this re-direct, just wondered if you could point me to the best method (and easiest to implement) and whether there is any method i should try and avoid, in order to stay friendly with search engines/pagerank

THANKS AGAIN:
