the correct code to implement 301 URL Redirection

Question

I have to permanently move a few pages, from http://www.site.com/page.cfm to http://www.site.com/new/page.cfm but also to preserve page rank for each one of them. So, is this the correct code to implement 301 URL Redirection?

<.cfheader statuscode="301" statustext="Moved permanently">
<.cfheader name="Location" value="http://www.site.com/new/page.cfm">

also can I delete http://www.site.com/page.cfm page after redirecting?

Yes, that code looks fine to do a permanent redirect. You could also use CFLOCATION instead:

Or, as Adam points out, you could do this through your web server's own native functionality if you chose.

I wouldn't recommend deleting the original page as long as references to that page's URL exist anywhere.
