Hi,

I bought a domain a couple of months ago... with the idea of selling links. It has a loads of wonderful links, but 90% of them go directly to PDF-files. I have redirected all of them to the homepage (404 Auto 301-plugin)

I'm wondering if anyone can give me some tips on how to fix this? So I can become rich without working ;)

I don't think it's a good idea to redirect all pdf to homepage.

If you would be the searching person clicking on the pdf file link with the hope to find your desired information but instead you get redirected to a homepage you wouldn't be satisfied. This would lead to high bounce rate which is not what you and google wants.

I would rewrite the pdf content as a normal article and redirect each pdf to the article
 
If one particular PDF has a ton of incoming links, create a random PDF on place. Put a link to your homepage in the PDF.
If all PDF have just one link per PDF, unless the link is coming from a huge reputable source, is just fine to do a 301 like you did. It would be a huge hassle otherwise (and anyways, I would never buy a domain with such case scenario or I would end ditching it)
