    Hello,

    in 2000 I created a website largmeouthbasstips.netfirms.com

    it did well, ranked high, lots of traffic, good amount of backlinks, but i could not figure out how to monetize it. The site was dismantled in 2003 with an error page. I left this page alone and within the last month i created a website largemouthbasstips.com which is an updated version of the old website.

    Now. the old domain is still showing up in MSN but i dont know about google. and The old site has some backlinks that my new site could use to jumpstart it.


    However, the old site WAS dormant for 3 years. So if i use the 301 command, will it hurt my new website or help it?
    thank you for ANY input :D
