Acquired new domain ..Need some advice...

[s2kinteg916]

I recently acquired a new domain with some pr and getting some natural traffic of around 200 uniques a day. The domain isnt great and i have an idea for the traffic its getting but im wondering whats my best option here. I was thinking of setting up a new domain with new content and 301ing everything over. I defiatenly dont want to keep the domain since it really isnt that great but love to take advantage of the pr and natural traffic.

Well... what about sharing the domain? You've bought it, we can't steal it.

There is no such thing as a perfect redirect, especially in regards to new domains/domain transfers. Google is on the lookout for that type of thing.

So depending on how bad it is, and how much PR it has, I may consider building off of it.

If you really don't want the domain... Build it up a little, get it generating some revenue, and then sell it on as a complete site. People like to buy sites that have some PR & traffic.

But if you're getting 200 uniques/day then I would probably just build on it, as getting a site off the ground is the main challenge these days. After it's rolling (as your site seems to be) things get easier and easier as time progresses.
