Hi Chandu - yes you can do this by using a 301 redirect from your old/existing domain to your new one. It will pass 90-99% of the link juice and therefore value in terms of your search engine rankings.

A 301 "...will pass 90-99% of the link juice..."

Which is the old way of thinking! Matt Cutts did a video a while back saying that wasn't true after all.

In fact, a 301 passes on as much 'juice' as a regular link...

Firstly welcome to the community David :),

Very interesting video  - I hadn't seen this! Additions like this show why this community is so great! We are constantly helping each other expand our knowledge.

I think you will agree that a 301 is still the answer to this question and the best method for moving domains and taking the value of your old domain with you in terms of the search engines and ranking...
