      Ive got a current domain and after a bit of a rebrand Im considering 301 rediecting the current site to a newly purchased domain.  Id redirect each age to idential pages.  Am I likely to see any issues.  I know this is the recomended way from Google but just wondering how smoothly it works and whether Im likely to see any ranking drops or other problems?

        Hey there,

        If it's done correctly, you shouldn't see any ranking drops for longer period of time.

        Of course, there's always risk when you're playing with the redirecting but I'd follow the Google guidelines (as you correctly mentioned) and it should work smoothly.

        Let me know how it worked.

        Cheers, Martin
