Anyone have experience with buying expired domains with authority links and redirecting? How risk is this? Best Practices that should be involved?
 
I've done it n it just buried the site I pointed it to but it might work for a YouTube video or something like that. Point it at your comp, see what it does Before you point it at yourself
 
Best practice: Do not do this.

Several years ago, Google sparked some concerns when it said that buying an established domain name meant that links to that domain before the purchase were effectively lost. In other words, say someone bought a domain today that was registered in 2003 and which had built up hundreds of links over the years. All those links were effectively slapped with an invisible nofollow tag, passing along no credit. But links from after the purchase date would accrue credit.
