I read that 301 redirects will also pass along page rank.
Will a lower page rank be passed along to a higher ranked page, and override it?
I have two nearly identical sites, one is very old and has established links, but traffic has fallen drastically since I stopped promoting the site, and page rank has dropped.
Before I remove the old site, I'd like to do 301 redirects to the new site pages. Just noticed the old site has a lower page rank now than the new site. If I 301 redirect the old to the new, will I lose the higher page rank? Will the lower page rank of the redirected page override the higher page rank of the new site?
