I have a question for those that have used the 301 method effectively (not necessarily the OPs version, but 301s in general for ranking): Is it mainly to be used if you're trying to rank your homepage, or can it be used across many inner pages as well?
For example, I have a review site that targets a bunch of different products. Do you guys think it would work if every time I added a new review, I just bought a handful of aged PR domains and 301ed them right to the new review page and sent links at the 301s? Or do you think that after a while, Google would wonder why the hell I have hundreds of 301ed domains pointing to a plethora of different pages on my site?
I know the obvious answer here is to test it out, but I was hoping someone could share their experience first.
