Can i rank new domain faster by using 301 redirect from powerful expired domain in the same niche?
Is 301 redirect still effective in 2024?

So what is the maximum number of such redirected domains you guys would recommend, to be on the safest side with Google?

no idea, but I wouldn't redirect more than 2-3 domains, I'm too paranoid

301 redirects can still be a powerful, especially if the expired domain has a strong backlink profile and relevance to your niche

If you have to ask, then I would advise not to do it. You will screw up your site before it even had a chance to take off as you will make a topical mess out of it. Stick with links.

Using a powerful expired domain to link to your new website can help it get noticed faster, but make sure it's related and good quality to avoid problems.

Yes redirection from High authority websites improves your SEO ranking. it depends on other SEO strategies too like on page, content quality etc

Redirecting from a strong expired domain in your niche might speed up ranking for your new website, but it's not a guaranteed shortcut.

So what do you think about building a website on expired domain instead of redirecting. Will i rank faster?

It can give temporary boost, but it's risky. Google might penalize it. It's better focus on other link building strategies.

I've seen a lot of sites ranking with 301 redirects. It's a cakewalk for spammy niches like piracy or casino, but a little difficult for mainstream niches. You should also check multiple factors like penalties, traffic, backlink profile, history, etc.

I wouldn't even dare to go for 2-3 domains atm. I got burnt last year. Maybe 1 domain at a time max.no idea, but I wouldn't redirect more than 2-3 domains, I'm too paranoid
But yes, I second this. You are downloading someone else's past history on to your database. Not a good thing especially if there's a high chance of abuse on the domain.
