Hello everyone.

I was wondering f this would work. We have a new website with hardly any backlinks as its a new site. I have found an old domain on sedo with a DA of 74 and links are from Wikipedia and BBC and fox new etc. If I buy this what would be the best way to get the juice passed down to my money site? A simple 301 re-direct or is there another good way?

Thank you in advance.

    With those links I might think about making that my money site. Find the content they are linking to and recreate it. That way the links will stay live. I am not an SEO guy myself but that is what I would think about

    I had the same thought as agmccall. That said, there is a lot of conjecture about re-directing one domain to another and you'll hear people on both sides of the argument saying it works or it does not work.

    In 2017, Google's John Mueller said "301-redirecting ... makes sense if you have 1:1 replacement URLs, otherwise we'll probably see it as soft-404s and treat like a 404."

    This would seem to indicate that a re-direct passes 100% of the "link juice" if the pages are essentially the same or identical. If the re-directed page is not at all the same as the page it is being directed to, Google will consider it a 401 error and no link juice will pass.

    Now, how an algorithm actually does that and whether or not other search engines do the same thing is yet another question or two to ponder ...

    Yes, it can definitely work, but the topic has to be very relevant. It is first better to recreate the old site exactly as it was, add Google Search Console and wait 3 months. Then when Google picks it up and it starts ranking, you can do a 301 redirect.
