I have one blog who for the third straight update has scored a zero on
PR. I did a lot of PPP on the site at one time and despite having removed the posts and done nothing with pay per post since last summer. I don't regret doing the paid posting on that blog as it brought several hundred bucks a month in when I really needed. (It made the difference between paying my utilities and not being able to make rent.) This is a pop culture blog which gets a fair amount of traffic and about to start getting a lot more with American idol starting up, but it still has no page rank which means I am making crap on anything that requires
PR since the end of july.
My question is this I have two other semi-relevant blogs I could import the posts too and simply redirect the domain to. Both are
PR 4 blogs with decent search traffic and wouldn't look out of place including the other posts. The questions are what would be the benefits and what would be the risks of closing down the
pr 0 blog, adding the content to a different blog, and simply redirecting the old domain and then letting it expire?
In my mind getting a few hundred relevant posts with good keywords seems like a winning situation since it appears google is only peanlizing the domain and not the content. I know there is a risk I could lose the
PR of the new blog, but that is life, I risk that with everything I do not officially approved of by google. That said I also have a good chance of increasing backlinks and organic search traffic to the combined blog which would help my ranking.
