      I have a client who doesn't like their company name as it's no longer in keeping with the way their market it moving. The site currently has some good rankings and we've been working on it for 6 months or so.

      They have an aged domain that they have had on the backburner for sometime and have asked me if they can transfer the rankings from one to the other.

      Could this be done by 301 redirects or webmaster tools without losing rankings or is it inevitable that rankings will drop?
