@Nargil can answer this for sure, he's a wizard of expired domains (something that I never seem to grasp )

I will be buying a couple of expired domains this week.

I am planning to change the total content of the expired domains to the same niche as my money site with unique high quality articles, so that my money site benefits from topical authority that the expired domains get.

Is this a good plan, or should I keep the old articles of the expired domain as they are, but just add new ones which are the same niche as my money site?

Thank you. I am just good at bullshitting.



This is not as bad as not changing the niche, but it will still very possibly kill your money site.

Redirects pass backlinks and anchors. By redirecting multiple nonrelated domains to your money site you will make an absolute mess of your anchors and link relevancy.

If you really want to go for it, then do it one by one and make sure you wait at least a few months before redirecting another domain.

If you are in some spammy casino, pharma whatnot niche, then feel free to redirect whatever you want. Those niches are wild west. With anything else, it's a nope for me.

I would just rather wait for bigger niche relevant domains and work with those.
