Apologies if this has been covered in another thread although I wasn't able to find answers to specific questions and wanted to start a discussion around 301 redirects.

Specific questions I have around 301 redirects are:

*If you are simply purchasing the expired domains for the backlinks assume there isn't a need to setup content on the website and you can simply 301 redirect to your money site to pass the seo juice?
* If you aren't setting-up content on the site and simply redirecting from your hosting provider assume it's safest not to add all these domains to your Google Search Console?
* To scale the strategy I assume there's risk with 301 redirecting too many domains to your money site even if they are strong domains with good backlink, low spam score etc? Therefore, does it make sense to setup 301 redirects to your 301 redirects as opposed to your money site directly? The advantage seems to be reduced risk and the only real disadvantage I can see from this is that potentially less seo juice is passed to your money site.
 
Full 301 redirects are a very poor strategy. I would never recommend this. Instead, try building a site on top of those domains. Even a 20-page AI-generated content site with a simple mag template will do much better than just a 301.
 
Build a site, publish some pages related to what you're linking to, and 301 those pages
 
Re-create the pages with backlinks and then 301 redirect

- Wrong, there is the need. Get a domain, rebuild it with Archivarix, let Google catch up on backlinks. About how to do the redirect, read this - https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/n...ame-i-want-to-purchase.1399919/#post-15182926
- You are setting up content, but you can add the domains to GSC. You have "acquired" a business/website and you are making it look legit. You can even add it to same GSC as your money site.
- Spam score is a bullshit metric with no basis in reality. Do 3 redirects to your money site at most and even then try to spread those out at least half a year from each other. At least that's how I do it.
 
Redirecting many domain to your site is not a safe game, redirect 2 or 3 domains directly. Create a few relevant contents before redirecting, mainly check domains relevancy.
 
Thanks this feedback is all very helpful and everyone is giving consistent feedback which means my way of thinking about just doing full 301 redirects clearly isn't the best approach here. Outside of this forum I have heard a lot of conflicting advice.

One other question is about relevancy. I understand this is important in passing seo juice with 301 redirects. Let's say you're in the dental niche does it need to be relevant in that you are only identifying dental sites or you can broaden to health topics. Obviously finance would be completely unrelated but just trying to understand when we say relevance is important what this means in a practical sense....thanks in advance :)
 
Relevancy is good and simple to do. Write an article slanted to whatever you want to link to go.

On your finance site.
  • "Why Going To The Dentist Makes Financial Sense"
  • "Budgetary KPI's For Dental Practice Office Managers"
  • "How To Smile Whilst Extracting Maximum Profits From Each Patient So You Can Afford To Fly Your Entitled Family First Class To Disney For The Third Time This Year"
On an auto site.
  • 60% Of Dentists Drive BMW's, Why?
  • Worst Auto Accidents (mention dental injury of some sort, maybe the doctor fixed it?, link)
This article is on a dental site but could be on an auto site. (not my site, just example)

While you may find some topics that just don't work, most are pretty simple to do.
