I have a new (2 month old) insurance domain. I also have an opporunity to purchase a non related PR6 website for $1k.... If I did a 301 redirect of the pr6 site to my insurance domain, would that PR6 transfer to my ins site, thus making it a PR 6 site?
Not necessarily. Make sure the pr6 has a good amount of backlinks and is worth the money before buying it. Make sure it hasnt been dropped and has been registered for a while. Your site is not guaranteed a PR6, however a link from a page rank 6 site would help you site alot. -Sean
thanks for the tip. I wonder how much will a backlink from a pr6 site help me? If I'm #10 for a term that gets 140 local searches, will that bump to the top 3 for example?
