Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello,

The answers you have so far are all good.  wp.com is a great resource but it is not great for building your brand.  I use it mainly for industry leadership purposes i.e. big picture stuff so that visitor are interested in finding out more by visiting the main website..  However, no links in content..  leave that to your profile.

Hi Marcus,

It occurred to me, when tweaking my page score, that the only item I could not address was the keyword in domain.  The keyword in question we currently rank  3rd..  So I am pondering on the little things and interested in the views of others.

As Kyle states using a 301 it is simple to do and internal nav is not an issue.

Thank you

Is it OK to 301 redirect the index page to a search engine friendly url.
