Question Changing domain name and ranking...?

Hi,

I am posting here but I am not sure it's the good category...

I have a website (domain-name1) with a few pages ranked in the search engines for some keywords.
Now I want to move these pages under a different domain name (domain-name2).
How can I proceed without losing the PR on the pages, and the ranking ?

Thanks. Fab

Use a 301 redirect.

Thanks.

I will try with that on the top of pages I want to move :

<?
Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
Header( "Location: http://www.new-url.com" );
?>

At some point, will I see the url results for the keyword search I was ranking before under the new-url ? How long should I keep the old pages ?

Hello again,

I made the change above and that works for 6 pages I have out of 7.

Now for one of my page, I did a stupid mistake, it is now redirected to an url that does not exist ! So stupid !

Is a 301 irreversible ? What can I do ?
Thanks again... waiting for your help!
