Redirecting Link Juice

Hi, I have an expired domain that has several subdomains to it, like apple.google.com and blog.apple.google.com.

How do I redirect all the links that are pointing to those subdomains back to my main google.com domain so that it gets all the link juice from the subdomains? Do a simple 301 redirect on those subdomains using htaccess or do I need some Wordpress plugin as well?

Thanks!

    Do you mean you just bought an expired domain and want to 301 redirect it to another domain?

    Since if it's you just let a domain expire you can't recover the SEO benefit from links since you no longer have access to the domain (not yours).

    Sitewide 301 redirects if you own the domain.

    WordPress SEO Tutorial 2014 301 Redirects

    From the tutorial adapt the rules under "Moving a WordPress Blog with WWW to NON-WWW Support 301 Redirect Rules".

    A simpler rule set might work for all sub-domains:

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain\.com$
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/ [R=301,L]

    I think that would 301 everything to the home page of the newdomain.
