What is the best approach working with 301 redirects from expired domains?
Should I recover the webpage first with some content, wait for some time and only then do redirect? If you think I have to wait then for how long should I wait?
Also is it okay to buy that domain under the same account in account provider? The question is - should I try hide my ass here or not?
Also how many 301 redirects is ok? Would it be ok if I create 10 redirects fron different domains?

i think it's too many.... if you're pointing them all to the same URL I mean, otherwise I don't know

that's how it's usually done

If you think I have to wait then for how long should I wait?
experts say to wait at least 6 months (no idea why so don't ask), but personally I would only wait until the page gets re-indexed by google. And if it doesn't get indexed fast I try to force-index it (yes, I'm an impatient bastard :D)
 
Recover the expired domain with relevant content for 1–3 months before redirecting to rebuild trust and authority. Using the same account is fine unless you're in a high-risk niche, where privacy may help. Redirecting up to 10 relevant, high-quality domains is acceptable if spaced out, but avoid penalized or unrelated domains and keep an eye on the results.
 
thank you for your replies.
As I understand it is better to do redirects to some inner pages than to the homepage?

it depends on how many pages you need to 301 and the relevancy between those pages and the content on your site.

Normally, from what I understood, it's best to redirect each URL, individually, to one of the pages on your site that best matches the content of the URL you're redirecting. Sometimes, this can mean the homepage, sometimes it can mean an inner page, Just restore the site as it existed the last time when it ranked, let it sit for a few months (if you have the patience) so that google can re-index all of the pages that are worth your trouble, and then 301 each one of those re-indexed (and hopefully re-ranking too by then) to the pages on your site that are the most relevant to the content of the redirected pages. I think this is how it should be done if memory serves me well...
