301 redirect of one site version to new domain

[Gregos]

Hello all.

I today have domain.com that has 10 language versions and the structure is by folders:

domain.com/ru/
domain.com/pl/

etc.

Soon I plan redesign,new CMS and I plan to register 9 new ccTLDs.

My question is:

Can I 301 redirect domain.com/ru/ to domain.ru without having some bad effect on domain.com?

I mean,the main domain,com is not going to be affected by permanent redirect of one url to completly new domain right?

301 ones are fine and infact the best thing you can do to pass link juice; never be afraid of doing a 301. Make sure you have plans for that content to be at another domain/location on the server.

I do have one question that is in my mind; how long has this domain been active?

You may get some movement in serps from this, it seems that some believe 301's are just as good as passing ranking value, but others believe you only get about 80-90% percent of the original value.

Either way, it shouldn't be a huge difference.

All the best.
