Hello experts, I own a PR4 blog that I'll no longer use I'm thinking to sell it. I have a new site with PR0 and want to raise its PR If I 301 redirect the my old domain to the new domain will it get all its domain weight, authority and PR ? Thank you
Theoretically I thought it would work , so why do you think it will not work ? Do you think this will be 100% useless ?
These redirections usually don't pass PR. But you shouldn't focus on PR, but traffic. If you have good intense traffic, good content and good visitor metrics, then PR will naturally follow. You must use new age SEO techniques. Otherwise, I wouldn't try to increase PR by redirection. Google might not like it. It also counts what type of sites they are. If they are related and have many related keywords, it might help a "wee-bit", not much... I'd advise you to sell the PR 4 site. You might get a good money for it, if it's a really good site. Even if small. Then use the money to advertise the new site. Good luck!
I think you are not going to get benefit of PR from your old site.. Of course, you would get benefit of traffic of you redirect.
Sorry mate, but you might wna double check on that one. 301 redirects do pass the vast majority of their PR through. Admitidly not 100% of the link juice flows through, but the vast majority of it does. In fact, Matt Cutts has recently clarified that PR dilution through a 301 is actually a myth: http://searchengineland.com/google-pagerank-dilution-through-a-301-redirect-is-a-myth-149656 A 301 is the official way to tell Google and other search engines that your website address has changed, and that your content now resides on a new domain. It therefore makes sense that all of the data attached to your old domain is carried over when the 301 redirect is applied. This includes PR, and to a certain extent also includes domain authority and any active penalties EDIT: I do agree with your point about content though! 301 redirecting a domain which previously hosted content on "cars" into a site which now contains info on "dogs" for example, is likely to lead to penalty action (including possible PR reductions) if and when it is discovered by G. So be careful about that. However, if the sites are of similar content, you should be on fairly safe ground.
Yeh it will pass on most of the PR. Once you use it for the re direct there is basically nothing else you can do with it, which seems stupid to me.
Yes, Matt Cutts said that 301 passes PR, but many others say it doesn't, not fully. So I don't want to rely on such things... Here's an article about why they don't pass PR fully: http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/021832.html
I totally agree with MR DOG. MATT CUTT a week ago said that 301 redirect pass the same juice.SEL straighter way added correction because they says every time in there writing it do not pass the same effect.If you go through and see in discussion of this week blog post relating this topic on searchengineland you can find the exact answer to it.the first comment have answered/elaborated the concept in good way.
Yeah I don't doubt that at all. Like I said, they don't pass 100% of the link juice, but a 301 redirect will pass the vast majority of it
