So it loses some juice, but not enough to have a tragic effect on your site I think you lose between 1%-10% of link juice per 301 redirected page.

The new host had so much trouble setting it up and I had to go a few days with dealing with this situation. The domain 301 re-direct is a problem I've seen with having search engines counting a sites authority. Isn't it true you lose some of the authority by redirecting?

While the steps in Matt's article are good (although a bit out-dated now), they should always prove to be the critical and vital part of making the move a successful one.

We're about to move from a domain with a lot of links, online press and "Google juice" to a new domain and we're concerned about losing the fruits of our efforts for the last 2 years. Is there an updated version of this post? What other resources can you recommend? Thanks! John Hello Matt,

But i have a question about moving databases.

The dump command wont retain the same tables structure of the database. is there a command in mysql to do it? take structure of database and all contents?

What about plesk panel database backup? it will take structure and content or just content?

Our intention is that only content for a destination will be hosted in the destination on a local domain, and we intend to do that for all our services. Problem is we started with our first 3 countries all on our .com domain, and did not seem to progress very well in google with the second and third published countries. We now moved content for an entire destination (England) of our .com domain to a local .co.uk domain hosted in the UK. We did 301 from the .com site to the .co.uk for each page. Is this the right thing to do? What are the specifics that differ from just changing a domain name but staying on.com. Thanks a lot in advance. We just want to get this right. Hi Matt,
