Follow up to Archive of Content

This is a follow up to the Question I ask: http://www.seomoz.org/q/archive-of-content

I have decided that I am going to move the articles from example.com (non-commercial) to website.com (commercial) however I was having a think, some of the articles on example.com and ranking well for some keywords, maybe getting around 20,000 visits from natural search, would it be possible when moving this article just to do a 301 redirect from the page with the article example.com to the new website?

Hope that makes some sense.

Kind Regards,

That sounds like a good idea.

You'll transfer ranking for those pages to new domain and if somebody has bookmarked those pages their links will still function. Overall everyone should be happy.

Search engines will not see this as spam? a 301 redirect from 1 domain to another domain.

That shouldn't be a problem. 301 is a valid way to inform search engine that content has been moved.

This is correct. 301s are done all the time, and it's the way to tell the search engines the new location for the content.
