Question about domain redirection.

[CjTheFish]

Good morning everyone.

I just had a quick question as to whether or not this would benefit my new website from an SEO perspective.

I have a new project, the SyberPussy adult forums.

About 3 years ago I had an adult style blog, (example.com) (domain year 2015) and over the years had managed to get it ranked for some extremely competitive keywords. For whatever reason my dumbass let the site go and I lost all the rankings and eventually abandoned the project. At the current moment the URL just redirects to an affiliate offer and managed about 2000 visits per day which translates to about $5-$10USD a day.

What would be the benefits of ditching the affiliate offer and redirecting the site to my new forums? Would there be any benefits other than the traffic? Would it boost my SEO for my new site?

If I google my old website without the dotcom it still shows as #1 result on both Bing and Google. And the domain itself is keyword rich. I put 3 years of link building into the old site so I'm sure its still go some nice backlinks somewhere too.

Worth it? any risks I should be aware of?

Thanks for your time.

If you did a 302 redirect to the affiliate link, then it should be fine. 301 to your new site would help boost rankings especially if it's the same niche

Right on, 302 is what I did to the affiliate, 301ing it now to my new site.

Thanks a bunch for the advice.
