Should we move a strong category page, or the whole domain to new domain?

[Durand]

We are debating moving a strong category page (and subcategory, product pages) from our current older domain to a new domain vs just moving the whole domain.

The older domain has DA 40+, and the category page has PA 40+.

Anyone with experience on how much PR etc will get passed to a virgin domain if we just redirect olddomain/strongcategorypage/ to newdomain.com?

If the answer is little to none, we might consider just moving the whole site since the other categories are not that strong anyway.

We will use 301 approach either way.

Thanks!

Hi there Durand,

I'm not quite sure of the logic here. Is there any reason you're wanting to move domain names?

As a general rule of thumb, I wouldn't suggest splitting up parts of your site across different domain names. Related pages are stronger together, weaker apart.
