Redirect, does google allows it or not?

    I am new in SEO and I want to know whether the following issue is possible or and if Google allows it:

    my site hahaha.com is ranking #1 in Google for a lot of keywords.

    My site hehehe.com has an awful ranking.

    Is it possible when someone visit hahaha.com through google that it will redirect to hehehe.com after let's say 5 seconds?

    I hope I have explained it clear

    I do not think such a redirect would be favorable in terms of SEO but a permanent 301 redirect would be best in terms of redirection to pass Page Rank juice.

    The only search-engine-friendly redirect is what's called a 301 redirect. With this type of redirect you are telling the search engines that Site X has been permanently moved to Site Y. They do not like temporary redirects or meta refreshes, etc..

    So a 301 redirect would be the best solution. What will happen with when I use 301 redirect? For example I go to google, type in the keywords hahaha.com is optimized for and it will immidiately load hehehe.com?

    If yes, Will I still be found on the keywords I've optimized hahaha.com for? Since hahaha.com is ranking on many keywords on the #1 spot.

    If you do a proper 301 redirection you pass over all the value to the new URL within time, this is the only proper way to do it.

    Ok, to be sure I will ask it again: when I have done the 301 redirection and when I am searching for keywords that are ranked #1 earlier, it still will be #1 but this time it redirect to the new site? I'm glad if it's true.. 301 redirect wow how cool is that :)

    Right now they will show the old site, but as time progresses it will convert over to the new URL, make sure to properly redirect EVERY web page thats being copied over, the rest go to the domain name.

    ok thank you. What about the rankings, will they drop too? Since almost all the main keywords are in the old domain that is ranking #1 in Google

    They will drop for a little bit, but will return.
