      When moving the content after a while to a subdirectory of my core website I would copy the full content and later further improve it. Would the external links that I redirect via 301 be counting similar to links I had earned in the first place? I understand that 301 redirect normally just implies minimal loss of link power.

      Topic of the site I consider to acquire is loosely related to my core site.

        Hello,

        If you have a site that is relevant and scores well than if you redirect it to your new main site it should pass up to 85% of the link value. There are many factors that go into the calculations that are not tied directly to PageRank and the benefit you get from those can be more or less. As long as it is a quality site and the content is related to your new main site it should help.

        Best Regards
