Hi , I want to redirect a old domain to a new domain to get all the indexing and traffic back . My old domain is HIT (manual penalty)in March core update . So What is the best way to redirect it . I already have done 301 after taking the dump of the article from the Old to new domain . Please suggest.

when you have received a Manual penalty simply making a 301 redirect doesn't work you have to first address the issue for which the domain has been penalized then check on the backlinks profile and content quality etc.., which maybe a reason for the penalty of the old domain once after rectifying those issues you can use it for redirection.
 
PRO tip from black hat folk is: Start a new website, your old one is completely and utterly fucked and you won't get your traffic back ever.

Also PRO PRO tip: Redirects pass penalties.

Also, PRO Historic revue: What you are trying to do worked like 10 years ago. Not anymore.

Hey man, interested in your opinion if we should redirect in these other cases:

1. Domain was completely deindexed but no manual penalty
2. Domain was doing fine but got fucked over time (no deindex or manual penalty here)
3. Domain flopped (no deindex or manual penalty but couldnt generate any traffic over months)

I appreciate your valuable opinion.

Unless that domain is pristine clean without any issues and 100% niche relevant, then go for it. Otherwise don't do any redirects.

All those issues 1 - 3 are issues for a reason. You don't want to redirect those "reasons" to a new domain.
 
Here is a tip, don't redirect, just import it on a new website with a similar domain (example: random.com / randoms.com)
My experience: One of our websites got deindexed and slapped with a manual penalty (Pure spam), we bought the new domain (.net,.com,.org doesn't matter) and we Imported (not redirected) all the content from the penalized site. The old site had DR 71 (ahrefs rating), in maybe 25 days, our new domain got DR 57 (imported on 7th March). Not gonna talk much, but that's what worked for us

Why should importing the old content improve the DR of the new domain? Dont get it
 
My mistake, i'm sorry for misinformation. It was imported with redirections. The old domain was on .net, new domain is on .com, and it had around 64k backlinks, that is the reason why the DR got boosted so fast. The website is blog, and the content is evergreen in general niche

You should try lifting the penalty before,
I assume its due to spam, so you have to rework the whole website content and submit a review,

After the penalty if removed, you could try to 301 to avoid the post penalty struggle,
Even then, it won't be guaranteed, you might require to do this for 2-3 times, but only remains as attemps,

All depends on the domain authority and its links tho,
Unless you have a solid link profile, it's not really worth it

In your experience, did any of these sites pass the penalty?

Did you try this for a domain that only had an algorithm penalty, and no de-indexing or manual penalty?

My situation is 95% traffic drop (looks like algo penalty) and I'm considering doing the re-direct approach like this

We haven't received any manual actions on the new domains, all old sites were deindexed. I saw people talk that if you redirect the content on a new website it will carry the penalty with the redirected content. We still haven't received any manual actions on them (rn we have over 44 redirected old sites on new ones). I will leave an update if any of them get slapped with pure spam. But for now, it is working

I am not sure but what I know is that people forward such domains to competition to pass the penalty. I didn’t try it but I should be very careful by redirecting to your own site.
 
Make sure you have clearly redirected your old content using 301 to your new page and work on the quality contents in new page.
