      There's a DR 51 domain we'd like to buy, with a quality backlink profile. We'd like to 301 redirect this domain to our DR 46 domain, and possibly setup something to make the user experience smooth for people expecting the old domain.

      Is this still a white hat strategy? How would you calculate the value/what kind of offer to make?
