      If I buy a keyword EDM domain and 301 redirect it to my site, will I rank better for that keyword?

        No.  If it is a newly registered domain the only benefit you will receive is type-in traffic.

        If the domain has a website on it with rankings and links you  might get some benefit from them if you play your cards right.

        • Is it worth keeping a decades-old domain that's merely 301 redirecting to the main domain?
