Re-Branding

[Hondy]

I have a site with some customers but the domain name is changing to a new one.

The old site has a PR of 4/10 and the new domain isn't ranked.

Am I better off leaving a single page, with a link to the new domain, using a meta-refresh redirect, or using DNS? DNS would be best for the clients as it would seemlessly bring them in to the new site, but is there a better way to use the PR of the old site (or is it now irrellevant)?

Hi

Do not use [tt]meta[/tt] tags to redirect, use HTTP status code. The current rank will be kept only if you use redirection and use it in standard way.

Any idea how to do that using IIS feherke?

No, never seen IIS.

Be aware that redirecting an established hostname to a new one will kick in the Google aging delay and kill all rankings for anything up to 12 months.
