: How to move a single page of content to a new domain I am trying to figure out best-practise for moving a single page of content from one domain to another in a way that will preserve search
I am trying to figure out best-practise for moving a single page of content from one domain to another in a way that will preserve search engine ranking. I have found plenty of instructions for wholesale domain moves, but this situation is slightly different.
I have a blog, one page of which gets a lot of search traffic for a specific term. I would like to take that one page of content and move it to an entirely new domain, which I will then use to start adding new content to.
My plan so far:
register the new domain
remove the single page of content from the old domain
put up the single page of content on the new domain
set up a 301 redirect for the URL of the page on the old domain, pointing to the new domain
Is this the right way to do it? Is there anything else I need to do in order to keep Google happy?

Yes, that's a good start. To add to your steps:
Check to make sure that you don't have any internal links to the old page in your content or sitemap, and if so change them to the new URL.
Check for external links in Google Webmaster Tools, and if possible, try to contact the webmaster of the referring site to change them to the new URL.
To avoid any potential for duplicate content issues, in case it appears elsewhere, you might add a Canonical link to the page.
Submit your updated sitemap to Google Webmaster Tools, and other search engines.
Use the "Fetch As Google" function in Google Webmaster Tools so that Google will re-crawl and index your site. See this for more information on that:
Ask Google to crawl a page or site
