The quick answer is...no change in SERPs noticed at all. Bear in mind it's quite a small site in a niche topic who's competition is a lot of very poorly designed websites. Will be making one last entry on this post once we have an update for the Toolbar, but fully agree with you - SERPs are all important - a little green bar doesn't really mean all that much ;) Thanks for stopping by Sorry – the post was rather long.

So I decided to just experiment with it myself, by doing a 301 on one of my personal websites and I will see how it goes. I used the .htaccess method. So we will see what happens! I am hoping at minimum that the SERPS are not affected in any drastic way... really that's my main concern. PR makes no difference if rankings don't fall in my opinion. Maybe the PR did transfer, but it's just not showing yet for you? if your rankings an unchanged I would think the 301's purposes was fullfilled in terms of seo.
