      I am moving one of my sites wellington-florida-homes.com to a new domain (wellingtonfloridahomes.com). Most of our link-juice is coming from another domain we purchased (theshockleyteam.com) that is redirected to our primary site. If I simply redirect theshockleyteam.com to our new domain (wellingtonfloridahomes.com) I will still have the link juice passing through, right?

      Thanks!

        That's right Ricky - provided the redirect is a 301 and remains in place, the strength of the previous domain will pass through. It's accepted that a little of the power is lost with a redirect, but certainly over 90% of the strength is passed.

        Might be an idea to 301i the wellington-florida-homes.com domain too - unless you're leaving it behind because it has a spammy link profile, as those will pass on as well as any strength.

          Thanks Tom! I thought so, just wanted to make sure. The domain with dashes doesn't have a spammy link profile, just a spammy url 😛 We finally got our hands on the non-hyphenated version!

          Thanks for the help!
