301 redirect from an old domain to a new domain.

Can 301 redirect from some old domain make a newer domain look older to Search Engines? Does anybody have experience with this? Thanks!

 

If it is a blog then its easy to do so ... but its hard if it is a site.

 

you mean to say...
abc.com is your old domain and you want to transfer it to new bought domain xyz.com which is new one?

that will effect your ranking i guess...

because whois record of domain name will differ then the older one!

 

Thank you for answer. Here, I don't want to transfer a site. I want to make my new domain look older to search engines. The site with new domain is in the same niche. Is this a helpful strategy for this purpose?

 

Its impossible to make your domain look older to the search engines. Since the whois record is public. But why your facination with this? A 6 month old website can rank well is set-up properly.

 

Nice Info Guys

 

okey thank !
Does this 301 redirect transmit the value of the original domain to the receiving domain?
For example assume that I have about a dozen of old domains with PR2,3,4 etc and I do a 301 redirect to a single domain.

 

Isn't the search engines' based on the domain itself moreso than the site anyway?

 

It will transfer most of its value, although some of that link juice will be lost.

 

You will have to start promoting your new site all over again i guess. The old one's ranking will stay the same for some more time.

 

The 301 redirect will transfer the old ranking to the new website. I would estimate about 65 - 90% of the ranking will be maintained.

As far as the original question goes, "Will it make your domain older?"

While I cannot give you a definite answer, my personal opinion is that it will not. Even though the link juice and ranking status is carried over the domain age is not.
