301 redirect of PR 6 domain to PR 1 site, Will it improve my site's seo?

Last question if i build a new site on that pr6 domain + new backlinKs will it be more beneficial?

[Silkstream]

Speaking broadly I would say yes, if the niche is the same. Particularly if the domain is aged rather than new.

Ok thank you very much for your valuable comments

[Silkstream]

No problem, glad I could help.

Just for some additional resource might want to check out - http://moz.com/blog/save-your-website-with-redirects

Also Google's aware of a black hat method of just buying domains and 301ing them to your main site - its not as simple so be careful of assuming it will work.

What about using this pr6 domain to build a new site ?

[GPainter]

it's difficult technically yes it could work but at the same time if you change the site the pr is for the old site so you would have a drop in rankings as your creating a new site and some of the links would be lost etc.

The best advice is if the pr6 site is a domain you want like your brand then go a ahead create the site make it awesome but don't worry too much about creating a site on the pr6 site thinking its going to give you a giant boost especially if its unrelated to your niche. As Silk pointed out an aged domain can help but in the larger picture good content works best.

End of the day its up to you i recommend taking a look at all of your options and going with the one that benefits you and most importantly your users the most.

since the sites structure will be different, you are probably only going to get PR  from links to the home page.

PageRank is passed by links, so any links pointing to the PR6 domain can now point to your domain. But there is more than page rank, there is relevancy. If the PR6 domain was about cats, they the link text and linking pages are probably about cats, if your site is about cars then you wont get any relevancy.

as for the mentions of link building, as I stated above, PR is simple links, the PR6 domain much have a lot of good links already.

I want to make new site previous domain had  a different language will that be a problem?

[IndiaFPS]

domain had thai language website but i want to build a english site on it but niche will same i.e technology , will that be a problem?

[GPainter]

It shouldn't be though it may confuse search engines as to what your site is about and its locality but its minor.  You will loose PR but its not the end of the world, create a great site and it will come back just don't make the site for just the PR alone.

[AlanMosley]

not for PageRank, because as I stated, page rank is only links, but for relevancy yes, it wont be relevant.

You could also be importing problems with the domain along wit the PR,
