Not positive, but I'm pretty sure a 301 redirect isn't going to carry over a penalty (at least not in my case). I've taken about 5 sites hit with a -50 already, and just redirected them to the same content on new domains. Penalty didn't transfer over yet. But then again, redirecting multiple domains to one site may be a different story![]()
bump - any update on this?
I would be interested to know if your 301ing a bunch of nasty domains @ url got it slapped or hurt.
As I've mentioned a number of times here, I 301'd a de-indexed domain to a money site and lived. I actually have another de-indexed domain sitting around, I'll 301 it and see if it's any different .
I just did this which is one of the reasons i'm interested in an update from this thread.
I had a domain that was on ALN that got deindexed a few days ago. I just 301'd the domain to a site that is #1 for KW and i'm #2. I'm hoping it will cause the #1 site to get bumped down a bit and let me be #1.
will update if anything happens.
