Topic: Leveraging an aged domain to boost search volume
The team over at Niche Website Builders buy old websites and redirect them to their own.
This strategy boosts the authority of their site by passing unearned PageRank from one site to theirs.
In this case study, they share how to leverage aged domains the right way.
Tips include:

(2) That's has lower domain authority than yours
(3) That also overperforms for organic traffic
Note, they don't use a direct 301 redirect.
