Hi Friends & Webmasters, i have a problem and hope that you can help me. I've got a domain www.page1.com about the topic "presents". There is on competitor with a similar domain name. Its possible to buy this domain since yesterday. It is the domain www.page2.com Now i've bought the domain www.page2.com and will host it on the same IP like www.page1.com So the www.page2.com is on the same IP and the same server like www.page1.com Now I want to forward the domain www.page2.com through 301 to www.page1.com Does this work in terms of SEO? I want to keep the backlinks and the popularity of the purchased www.page2.com for the old domain www.page1.com Will this method work out for Google? What do i have to keep in mind and take care of? Thanks in advance. Karolinat
As long as your content and theme is very similar, then I don't think it should affect your backlinks. Your backlinks would change if those linking to you no longer felt value in the link to your website.
