Hello guys!
For around 2 years I have my site at http://ConscienciaPlanetaria.com .
http://conscienciaplanetaria.org was owned by another guy, that more than 1 year ago dropped the site and just put a maintenance message on it.
I was checking it today and saw OpenDNS was not finding the domain, looked further and saw the domain was available for registration, and now it's mine! :D
I'd like to change my site domain to .org, but as I said it's been in .com for 2 years now. ATM I'm 301 redirecting .org to .com. If I change my site to .org, and make .com redirect to .org, whould it impact my site PageRank?
Do you guys recommend make the change? Or should I just leave it in .com? I'd really like to use .org as the main domain.
Another question, if I make the change, what's the best way to redirect all .com/permalink URLs to .org/permalink? cPanel can do it? or maybe htaccess? I'm worried with internal pages PageRank too.
