301 Redirect - A Completed Case Study

I'm gonna do a few variations of this and I'll report my finding here as well. I have a site with various topics and will 301 those pages to respective topics on separate sites.

What is your experience with using 301's to simply just power another page on another site. I have 2 sites that im trying to rank for the same keyword but would sacrifice one of them if 301'ing would help the other. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

couple of questions...

does the target site benefit from anything else besides backlink juice from the redirect site? as in, does keywords in the domain matter

can you redirect subdomains or just domains? I ask because as someone else mentioned, it would get expensive to buy dozens of domains to redirect links to all the inner pages for a client.

i assume if your client had one than one page he wanted ranked, you would set up this process for each one individually

Hi;

great info. I thought about it to use in affiliate marketing, but met some issue and don't know how to overcome it. So let's say I have 301 redirection site which is pointing to product I am promoting. What can I do to put my affiliate link in it?

example:
www.ProductToPromote.com
www.My301RedirectionDomain.com

Where to put my affiliate link??

you think this would still work today?
