Hi,

I have a domain that got penalized by Penguin 2.1

I guess I am already late for the next update, so I will have to wait an extra update or refresh in order to "maybe" get my rankings back.

I can't wait that long, so I am thinking about to start from 0 with a new domain, and use a js redirect from the old one. On that way I don't transfer the penalty but the users. What do you think about it?

Some SEOs told me that by cloning the website, Google may somehow transfer the penalty, so I should rewrite all the content, or remove totally the content from the old domain before to launch the new one.

Any thoughts?
 
You're to late. You have about 20% chance that 301 redirect will help. Google has simply disabled redirects.

You can always try, but in my case - I've made lots of redirects and it didn't help in most cases. Think about new domains, new websites. Start all over again.
 
Why not try a final push before Penguin is rolled out? Nobody knows for certain when it will be released and there may still be a chance.

Start cleaning up those links today.
