Hey everyone, I've got a question about a possible merge I am looking to do with a domain I picked up on backorder.
I'm not exactly sure why the original owner dropped it, everything about the domain checks out. Over 250 RD all in my niche (or at least closely related) and some very high authority sites linking in to blog posts.
My plan was to get the site back up, regain it's authority and then redirect it and the content I have recreated to my money site under a sub directory. For example, I am an investment website speaking about individual stocks. This website is a personal finance website, so I planned to have it redirect to the subdirectory xxxx.com/personal-finance. The website has a lot of branded anchor text, so I don't really want to redirect it to my main homepage, if that makes any difference.
The domain is #2 for its brand (the old owners website is still #1, I imagine because some of the redirects are still pointing to her as far as Google is concerned) and is indexing re created content I make quite fast, within 12 hours.
My question is, should I wait until I have ALL the content recreated to merge it with my moneysite(over 100 pages with quality links), or should I simply do it now, and recreate the content as I can.
