If I redirect a penalized domain to a non-penalized domain, will the new domain still be penalized?

if you do a 301, all links are passed to the new domain, depending on what you have done to be punished, there is risk of the new domain will be too.

I have not personally tried this, I've read some people suceeding with doing this but I highly doubt it. You are basically passing the Authority of a domain of "penalized"  to a new domain that has 0 Authority. If it penalizes your new domain, that tactic could be used against people so I doubt but unsure if that is how Google treats it. If anything you will get another message saying your website has unnatural links pointing to it.

**Hope that helps! **

I have seen this done several times to get out of penalties. It appears that Google is ratcheting back, though, and 301 redirects do not get you out of a penalty for very long - sometimes as little as just a few days. I wouldn't count on it getting you out. Your better bet is to clean up the mess or start anew.

OK what if I no index my old site, port content to new site, no 301. Lose link juice.

Will I face duplicate content issues?
