    Pageranks after merging 3 sites

    I had three sites (different content and domain names) with different pageranks. These three are now combined. If I use one domain name then I get one pagerank and a different domain name a second score. What is the best way to protect the pagerank so the highest one remains?

    Hopefully this question makes sense.

    Ignore PR completely, and use the best domain name for the content.

    I agree with Brian regarding the domain itself having more important factors to consider than simply Google PageRank.
    • Do any of the domains contain important keywords matched to your niche?
    • How old are each of the domains? Has any of them been online for longer than the others?
    • Which one of the domains has the most backlinks currently listed in Google, etc?
    Regarding PageRank alone, I would expect the highest current PageRank to have the highest PR after the merge, of course.
