    Hi Guys,
    I have bought a website that is similar to my niche and receives a lot of organic traffic. I would like to redirect that traffic to my website without affecting SEO performance of the website I bought.
    What will happen when I use 301 appache ? Will it redirect all backlinks as well? Will the website I bought loose it's positions SERP?
    What would be the best way to do it?
    Thanks for your advice

    in my experience, 301 will cause SERP drop on Google.
    Google seems will watch a 301 for a period of time.
    Not sure if my experience works for your case.
