Suppose I have a several years old domain with high rank and a lot of quality back links. Now, I want to change the old domain name to a new one that I just registered. If I just change the domain name without any other steps, all I have done before will be wasted. So how to automatically redirect to a new domain when visitors link to the old domain? I think 301 Redirect can do me much favor. If I create a 301 redirect from old domain to new domain, the outcome would be different. That is because all valuable traffic will be transferred to the new domain.<\/p>\n

\nRewriteRule ^(.*)$ http:\/\/newdomain.com\/$1 [L,R=301]<\/p>\n
