DNS settings when redirecting old domain to new domain
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^queenofsavings.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.queenofsavings.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://queenofreviews.com/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
A couple of months has passed and Google has indexed all of my pages on the new site, but my PR and DA and PA have not flowed to the new one. While looking into this today I started wondering if my DNS config is correct. Both domains are registered with Godaddy, the old domain is pointing to Linode's DNS servers and the new domain is pointing to Cloudflare which then points to Linode. In the DNS manager for Linode I have a master record for each pointing to the IP of my Linode. I am not sure that pointing the old domain directly to Linode is correct or if any of it is correct, but the redirect does work. Thanks in advance for advice you can provide.

What you need is to convince the rest of the world to link to the new page instead of the old one. Surely, that will take a little more than two months.
