Okay guys, just got a super good idea.

We all know that if you have a Site A and you buy a new domain for Site A and call it Site B. If you make a redirect from Site A -> Site B then the backlinks to Site A will count as backlinks to Site B.

What will happen if I purchase a domain with 2000 backlinks and make 301 redirect to my main website? I will never change the redirect.
Will Google penalize me or will I raise in the SERPS?

    If I understand what your asking, yes, you will get some benefit from the link juice but you will only rank for the keywords of the old website. Is that what your wanting to do?

    You will get some link juice passed. It's a very common practice for SEO companies. They will build on a domain A then 301 redirect to their client's domain B. Then if the client stops paying their just remove the 301 redirect.

    Doing this with high backlink count and aged domains does work to some extent.
