      Hi

      I have inherited a website http://www.hanmersprings.net.nz/  Domain sore 17

      The website promotes Rippinvale so I want to register a domain rippinvale.com and direct the old domain to the new one.

      Is this the best way to do this to maximise the link authority?

        It might work. Purchasing expired or old domains and redirecting them to build your link equity. This is a completely different scenario. However, if you look spammy and are doing this with a ton of old, expired domains, you are going to get nailed.

        Secondly, earning 17 domain authority is not a difficult task. You can develop your new site easily till 20-25 DA. Growing above 25 DA requires more commitment.

            You have to understand your audience requirements and then plan to write articles in your blog in such a way that your articles solve the purpose of your customer. Always remember "Content is the king".

            You can get DA 25 plus without even earning backlinks, just write high-quality original content in your blog. (Disable right click throughout the site to prevent plagiarism)

            At the initial stage, keep your topic very narrow. Getting DA does not solve our purpose. The articles should do sales for you which should be your ultimate goal. Have promotional banners within articles to take the user to our plans page and then aim for conversion. (This varies as per your business niche)
