    *not actual domains*

    Let us say I have a fan site for a celebrity, let's say her name is:
    Madeline Marie Jones

    and I have the domain address: (a well established site. 7 months old domain, around 1,000 unique hits a day, was PR4, dropped to PR0)
    madelinetoday.com

    and I recently bought a domain: (recently bought. 0 unique hits a day, no content, pr0)
    madelinemariejones.org


    Should I transfer all content from madelinetoday.com to madelinemariejones.org and have a 301 redirect from madelinetoday.com to madelinemariejones.org?

    OR

    Should I remain all content from madelinetoday.com and just 301 redirect madelinemariejones.org to madelinetoday.com?

    OR

    Should I park madelinetoday.com to madelinetoday.com?

    Which is better?
    For seo purposes :) and whatever. Thank you!

    Just do 301 redirect from madelinemariejones.org to madelinetoday.com? this is the best one.

    301 redirect is best option for you as well as you should submit your websites in Google webmasters tool. so the crawler will be redirected to your new pages and still you will be able to enjoy all traffics from old pages.
