The goal of the redirection is only that I would like not lose my traffic.
So I will setup this for one, two days and then delete this.

Yes, redirection will pass the penalty as well.

If the traffic is too much then you can redirect for few days and then remove it.

I won't recommend permanent redirect.

I read today on BHW that using a domain as a buffer eliminates the penalty. Example:

Old domain > Buffer Domain > New Domain

Redirect old to buffer, and redirect buffer to new. Apparently penalty doesn't get passed, but juice does.

Not confirmed by myself as of yet though - still need to test it.

Any more thoughts about 302 redirection?

Is it 100% safe?

Or is there any other safe redirection?

301 redirect bro.

More and more reports are showing that redirects are not transmitting the penalty and they do great when it comes to passing some link juice.

The link juice will be transferred to the new domain.

I have wrote a topic about how to redirect an old website to a new website, you can check here: http://www.warriorforum.com/search-e...n-rebrand.html

Redirect it for a couple of days, let the new site get indexed. Once that is done remove the redirections and start building quality links for the new site.

Any more thoughts on this?

I am going probably to use 302 redirection for a two days, I hope it will not pass any link juice or penalty.

Well considering this is my first post and many of you don't know who I am. RadiantDarkness -Global Mod from BHU. I will dive in and answer this as 301's and BH SEO are something I like to play with on the lead generation side for my clients. I typically keep client sites clean, but run some churn and burners/parasites on the side to give them leads QUICKLY.

So when dealing with old penalized domains you can do a few strategies in order to "filter" the penalty.

One of those is by 301'ing the PENALIZED domain to a wordpress site that you own. If you used to rank then in approximately 72 hours that wordpress site will rank. You should be tracking this in order for this method to work. Once the Wordpress site ranks, setup a new money site, let's call it Moneysite 2. Allow the rankings to stabilize on wordpress and then 301 from wordpress to your new money site.

I've been using this to filter penalties for the past 18 months or so and it works really well.

Also for those who say that 301's with a penalty won't knock out your competitors... I wonder why many BH'ers I talk to own negative 301 networks when dealing with massive competition. If you can't beat them join them or knock them out. I don't do this, but I know when I was learning how to filter penalties it came at a cost of losing some sites that meant a lot to me.

Now for those who are not aware, 301's don't pass 100% juice especially when you are filtering them through another property (wordpress). So often times your rankings will come back maybe 5-10 spots behind where they originally were. In this case just add some links and let them settle. You should be on the road to recovery.

Good Luck! 302's have been nerfed sadly ;/ they used to be great for filtering algorythmic penalties

Do you have reason to believe that the old site has been penalized? You say it's still ranking good

For some reason I cannot start a post here so I hope OP isn't offended by my asking a question here on the redirect topic:

May be a silly question but 'Is it possible to have domains re-direct to hosted sites according to time?'

eg: Can I have a clients domain name/business name go to a certain website say Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm and the same domain go to an alternative website say Monday to Friday between 5pm and Midnight? (Or even Alternative Pages/Menus on the Same Website)

A couple years ago I was hit with a penalty on my main money site. I had created bad links to it (didn't know what I was doing). To recover, I created a new site with the same pages and 301'ed each page from the old site to the new one. Within a month I was getting traffic again.

I used some steps I found in a BH forum which included adding the old site and new site to the same Google webmaster tools account and specifying the "change of address" option.

these are all valid points but to me it has to somewhat pass negative link juice too. Several people purchase domains with lots of backlinks to pass/redirect to a website for a POSSITIVE advantage. I would think that if the site was sandboxed or flagged by Google that the redirect would have a NEGATIVE impact on your new site. Just makes sense.
