301 Direct with a deleted domain newbie

[678648631264]

Hello I'm wondering if the 301 redirect to your money site with a high pr deleted domain still works post penguin.

Will all the link strength pass on to the new domain? What if the domain has nothing to do with your niche? Does that affect it or no?

It should still work, but the fact that it is off topic is not good. A lot of people get this wrong, its not the the page the link was pr3eviously pointing at that should be relevant, but the page that the link comes from. are the links comming from relevant pages? is the link text relevant?

No nothing is relevant.

EXample:

What is better?

PR 3 labeled pornsex.com/asiancuisine.com that has nothing to do with dogs directed to a site about dogs

or

pr 1 labled bdj.com/dog.com that has everything to do with dogs directed to a site about dogs.

Obviously the second link is better.

My point is that the page the link was pointing to is no longer relevant, it is the link text and linking page that you need to consider.

So only do a 301 from relevant sites right?

If the PR is 0 will there be strength or does it need a minimum of 1?

What is the effect of a PR1 301 direct on SERPS? What about PR2,3,4?

i would not worry about PR, all pages have some PR and all is usefull.

i would make sure none of tthe links come from sites that may harm, you spam or porn sites. If they have little PR and are not relevant, then i would not worry about them, but as long as they are not spam paid links they will not harm you.

This page may exlain a bit more abount pr.
