You can also tell google about the change of address directly, through google webmaster tools, its worth baring in mind that when you do the 301 you need to make a 301 from each page to the new page so you would have oldsite.com/about redirect to newsite.com/about rather than all pages on oldsite.com redirecting to the newsite.com home page. In my experience you will see a drop of traffic but it tends to normalize after a week and then your back to normal |

It may have some implications, but not because of the 301 redirects (if done correctly). If you are worried about the new domain name: How important is it to have keywords in a domain name? by Matt Cutts @ Google |
