Hello Hatters,

I will try to purchase an old software domain with many backlinks and 40dr later today. Is it smart to 301 this domain towards a souvenir webshop with 0 dr? Will Google penalize me or is there a work around?
 
It depends. It is based on the domain spam score and the backlink type.

If it is having more spam and did 301 redirection to your fresh domain, you will be penalized.

So try to remove the spam if it is having through disavow and do the 301 redirection.

If the domain was perfectly maintained and having less spam, you will be benefied on Google ranking.
 
Totally agree with the previous one, make sure that the spam score is very low before doing so to avoid any problems, and after the 301 it will take a few weeks to start ranking again
 
Thanks for the knowledge, good weekend hatters.
