Does domain age pass with a 301 redirect?
Helping a local business with a web site redesign.
Would like to move to a 3 word keyword loaded domain ( no hyphens )
Old domain has one word of the desired keyword and the new name has two words from the keyword in it.
Keyword: red blue widgets
Old domain: AdvanceWidgets
New Domain AdvanceBlueWidgets
It is my understanding PR and link juice will pass but what about the age factor?
The old domain is over 10 years old. I don't want to lose this benefit although Google has downplayed it's importance as of late per my knowledge. I believe Matt Cutts of Google released a video not too long ago stating that?
Input?
