301 redirect of PR 6 domain to PR 1 site, Will it improve my site's seo?
-
I have a pagerank 1 website but i recently purchased one old pagerank 6 domain, if I 301 redirect this pr6 domain to my currrent pr1 site, will it will increase my site's pr and improve seo ?
-
not for PageRank, because as I stated, page rank is only links, but for relevancy yes, it wont be relevant.
You could also be importing problems with the domain along wit the PR,
-
It shouldn't be though it may confuse search engines as to what your site is about and its locality but its minor. You will loose PR but its not the end of the world, create a great site and it will come back just don't make the site for just the PR alone.

domain had thai language website but i want to build a english site on it but niche will same i.e technology , will that be a problem?
-
I want to make new site previous domain had a different language will that be a problem?
-
since the sites structure will be different, you are probably only going to get PR from links to the home page.
PageRank is passed by links, so any links pointing to the PR6 domain can now point to your domain. But there is more than page rank, there is relevancy. If the PR6 domain was about cats, they the link text and linking pages are probably about cats, if your site is about cars then you wont get any relevancy.
as for the mentions of link building, as I stated above, PR is simple links, the PR6 domain much have a lot of good links already.
-
it's difficult technically yes it could work but at the same time if you change the site the pr is for the old site so you would have a drop in rankings as your creating a new site and some of the links would be lost etc.
The best advice is if the pr6 site is a domain you want like your brand then go a ahead create the site make it awesome but don't worry too much about creating a site on the pr6 site thinking its going to give you a giant boost especially if its unrelated to your niche. As Silk pointed out an aged domain can help but in the larger picture good content works best.
End of the day its up to you i recommend taking a look at all of your options and going with the one that benefits you and most importantly your users the most.

What about using this pr6 domain to build a new site ?
-
Just for some additional resource might want to check out - http://moz.com/blog/save-your-website-with-redirects
Also Google's aware of a black hat method of just buying domains and 301ing them to your main site - its not as simple so be careful of assuming it will work.
-
No problem, glad I could help.
-
Ok thank you very much for your valuable comments
-
Speaking broadly I would say yes, if the niche is the same. Particularly if the domain is aged rather than new.
-
Last question if i build a new site on that pr6 domain + new backlinKs will it be more beneficial?
-
Yes, and getting your on-site SEO is very, very important too. I sometimes see much better results by modifying landing pages than "building" links.
-
Other methods means link building?
-
It will improve your Pagerank - but not to a PR 6.
It will only benefit your SEO if you are applying other methods and the site is domains are relevant to each other.

Do links from International SEO counterpart site carry weight?
Hi everyone! One of our clients has a competitor who has an international reach with their website. Their hreflang goes from Brazil, German, US, China, etc. We found that the Chinese site (.cn) sends over 900,000+ backlinks to the main US site (.com). The hreflang for the site has the .com US version of the site as the canonical. So my question is - does our competitor get any link equity from the 900,000 links they are getting from their Chinese (.cn) version of the site? My initial thought is that because they are marked up with hreflang and canonical tags, those 900,000+ links wouldn't' have any equity? Would love some thoughts/guidance on what others think.

If I get multiple links from one domain, will that help my rankings?
Hello, I have developed a relationship with a blogger in my niche. He has published a guest post of mine with a link back to my site. Does it make sense to keep providing him with content to build different links from different pages within the same root domain? Thanks! Ricardo

IP and SEO
We have a lot sites we've built sitting on the same IP as our web site. Given that a lot of web companies rely quite heavily on the backlinks they get from their clients (some rather dubious footer links are common in this space), are we getting the most out of these valuable backlinks by sharing the same IP?

What Makes A 'Natural Link Profile'?
I find it hard to recognize unnatural link patterns when the links to my site are so familiar. It can be hard to see the wood for the trees! How many links from one site is too many? Does it depend on the size of the site? Thanks for your advice on this.

Will Google penalize for redirects related to a company merger?
Company A is set to acquire Company B. As part of the merger agreement, Company A will be redirecting the linking domains of Company B's website (over 1,000 links) to company A's website. Will Google penalize Company A for redirecting Company B's 1,000 linking domains to Company A's website at one time? If so, would it be better for Company A to redirect Company B's 1,000 linking domains in waves?

Will redirecting 250 linking domains to a new website from an old website freak Google out?
Prior to my accepting a project, the client decided to change the name of their company and purchased a new domain name to match. They hired a designer to build their new company site which has now been up and running for a little under 12 months. Up to this point they have done a good job of slowly redirecting small handfuls of linking domains from the old site to the new. They want to make one last push and point the remaining 250 linking domains from their old site to their new site. Will redirecting 250 linking domains to a new website from an old website freak Google out? If so, how many domains should be redirected at one time? My main concern is not wanting to upset Google and see the floor fall out on current keyword rankings, domain authority and page rank, etc.
