Hw to tell googlebot that a page moved

Let's say that I have a page

http://domain1.com/page1.html

and that I want Google to know that it moved to

http://domain2.com/page2.html

that is, I want google to replace the former with the latter, in its
search results, transfer pagerank, etc.

I control both domain1 and domain2.

thanks

Do a 301 redirect.

Sounds good. Do you know for sure that it will work as I want?

Depends on what server software your site is running, don't know exactly
how it can be done on a windows server, but with apache it could be done
with a redirect permanent in the .htaccess file.

For example:

Redirect permanent http://domain1.com/page1.html
http://domain2.com/page2.html

Further more, pagerank won't be transfered but re-calculated.

After having placed the redirect, you should be aware of the fact that
there are / could be still sites linking to the old location. Try to get
them changed by asking the webmasters to do so, at least for the ones
you know of.

I run linux/apache.

OK, let's say that page1 is the top result in search for "foobar".

If I do this permanent redirect (301), will page2 be on top of the
search result?

One can't say that for sure. I have seen pages drop and i have seen
pages stay on the same position after placing a redirect.

You most certainly have a purpose to move the content, make sure it is a
done properly and for the right reasons.

When you redirect with status 301, the older page will, in due time, expire
and disappear from index/cache. It might even seem unlikely that both
location will appear among the search results, unless the new location was
already indexed prior to redirection.

Do a 301 redirect.

BB

Sounds good. Do you know for sure that it will work as I want?

i

I assume so. That's the idea of a 301 as opposed to a 302, a 302 is a
temporary redirect while a 301 is permanent. There's different ways of
generating them according to what kind of server you're on. Bokma
knows more than anyone here.

Maybe, maybe not. You do hear of sites dropping in rank for a time
after being 301'd. Some are reportedly good as they ever were. So it
may, or it may not. You know how the web is. A 301 is your best bet.
