Hey Guys, I Have A Site With 88K Alexa Rank And 0 Homepage Pagerank. Now, I Have Buy A Dropped PR 4 Domain Name. My Question Is If I 301 Redirect My 4 PR Domain To 0 PR Domain Via htaccess, Can My 0 PR Domains PR Can Increase? Or It Has Any Side Effects? Please Help Guys!
Yes, your domain PR will increase. Side effect 1: The PR will only last till next google update after redirection is removed. Side effect 2: you will be cheating people out of their money if you sell it with a fake PR like that.
Yes, your PR will increase. If the PR4 is not relevant to your new site it could mess up your ranking since the links pointing to the old site will now be seen as pointing to your site. The Googlebots get confused about what a site is about sometimes and a 301 could confuse them.
