    Let's say I developed the domain dognews.net (fictive name) over the past year. Everything is fine, good rankings on 'dog news', etc.

    Now let's say I recently acquired dog.net. I plan to develop a full-fledged portal for dog owners, etc. However, this will take about a year.

    What to do with the domain in the meantime? Put a 'in development' page with a link to dognews.net? 302 redirect? Something else? What would be best to rank higher for 'dog'? :confused:

    Thanks :cool:

    You could also just syndicate the content from your older news site onto the portal.

    A permanant redirect works too

    I would suggest a temporary page, like a sindicated one, for example, keeping an eye on duplicates.

    Not sure if a 301 to be a good idea. Redirect have been a problem sometimes with Google, and they have warned they'll try to fix this. I wouldn't use a redirect, and never a 302, with can be very bad.
