301 redirecting 2 sites traffic to 1 site what happens seo/link wise?

    So I have 3 websites that all do the same thing. They all get around 100 - 200 uniques a day each. Most of which will be search engine traffic.

    What I am thinking of doing is deleting 2 of the sites and 301 redirecting the traffic to the other site. Do you think this is a good idea? The aim is to send all the traffic to one site so that I only have to deal with one site. Also it seems to get a better ctr than the other sites.

    The issue I see though is that eventually the traffic the 2 sites I deleted sent would die off because it is mainly search engine traffic.

    What do you think would happen? and should I just keep them as 3 separate sites?

    Hmm, this is actually a good question that most would be confused about. I would not delete the other two websites, it will destroy all content and PageRank that you have accumulated. So better yet why don't you use the other 2 websites pages for links toward your primary website? Is there any way that you could make blogs on those other 2 sites to help benefit the other one? If you are earning any adsense money off these sites, I would work on the 2 sites about 30 minutes a day for 30 days and then put them up for action and use the money for my primary domain.
