      I have a website about "Download of games" and im planning open one about "games online" i know that "games online" its super hard to get good ranks, soo im thinking and do a 301 from my website of "download games" to my new website, do you think that is a good strategy ?

        It would depend if you were looking to make the new URL your primary site and close the other down completely. If it is an expansion and you plan to forward all of your traffic there and don't care if your other site loses ranking then that's okay. As a rule I recommend using 301's as rarely as possible. Your best bet would be to build up some content for your new site before you roll it out and just link to it from your existing site. Google has changed the game a bit this year and they are really looking at content rather then instant link juice. Building a good link profile and posting some good, unique content on your new page is going to do 10 times the work a 301 would and has a 0 risk level.

        I hope that helps!!!!!!!!!
