What is the best way to buy expired similar domain names and point them at your site to garner link juice?

what is the best way to buy expired similar domain names and point them at your site to garner link juice? there are lots of domains with good links pointing to them that are now expired and those links would be in the same subject as your site and a good addition to your current links. I've heard that 301 redirected links only pass half value but even that would be a great addition to your domain authority if you could purchase those domains and 301 them to your site? what are everyone's thoughts on this and how do i go about this?
Thanks in advance mozzers!

I can tell you I don't use SEO hosting. I like to stay off Google's radar completely and SEO hosting companies are sitting ducks IMO.

Neenor, what company do you use for your different C class IP's?

I actually use this technique on my own and client sites and it's very effective. A word of warning though, this is not white hat SEO and as such I do disclose this fact to clients.
I don't 301 the expired domains because there would be little point in doing so. You need those expired domains being seen as separate incoming links.
I set my expired domains up as mini sites and have original content written for them. The content then has a couple of links through to my main site. They go on completely separate hosting accounts with a different C block IP address i.e. don't put them on your own hosting account because they will not count as incoming links from separate C block IP addresses (important). Also hide your whois information.

Domain and Sub-Domain Question
Hi, My company owns the domains www.NYSTATEMLS.COM and www.MYSTATEMLS.COM both of these sites are already on there way with a lot going on. I did just review video 5 on technical SEO and Rand was talking about how much harder it is to rank two websites. So i'm wondering what could be done in this area? Should something be done? The website nystatemls.com is necessary because it's dedicated to the state of new york & has been around for a long time. mystatemls.com came later because the business grew and we opened up to the national market. Looking for some insight. Thanks so much, Chris Farcher

Should this site be using Rel=Canonical VS No Index
I'm currently working on this site https://www.visitliverpool.com/accommodation I've been watching this video by Rand - https://moz.com/blog/rel-canonical but it's still unclear in this scenario. if you use the search facility "check availability" half way down the page the results page (urlparams) are no indexed. Would it be better to index and canonicalise? There is no similar content but I'm concerned that no index will remove the ability for semantic content to be visible to google. LADkajY

Link juice retained when using nofollows?
Is it still true that when linking to other sites with nofollow links, the juice is retained on your page? Or is the juice lost, but just not passed on to the other site? I found this whiteboard friday, but it's pretty old (2007): http://www.seomoz.org/blog/whiteboard-friday-the-juice-is-loose Looking forward to your thoughts!

Client has two domains for the same business
My client does hardwood flooring AND concrete polishing. He has one domain for hardwood flooring and the other website is for concrete polishing. (separate domain) Building traffic, links, authority for two sites is going to take MUCH longer for two separate domains than if they focused their effort on just ONE domain. **Any suggestions on how best to handle this? ** One of the domains is 8 years old and has 736 links pointing to it (not many of them are very good). The other one is much newer and it has 1,269 links pointing to it. What doesn't help is the first domain specifically spells out "hardwoodflooring' and the other has 'concretepolishing' in it. Keep em separate or forward them to a more universal sounding domain name? www.billybobsflooring.com for example? Thank you for ANY suggestions! 🙂 Have a great Halloween everybody, Matthew

Affiliate links with hash tags
We are setting up a brand new internal affiliate program for our site. When creating the affiliate URLs I learned that we can use hash tags (#) instead of question marks (?). I remember Rand did a White Board Friday years ago (http://www.seomoz.org/blog/whiteboard-friday-using-the-hash) saying that this was a better way to build affiliate URLs because it basically acts as a stop and/or canonical for the URL. We already have canonical tags but I was thinking of using this in hopes of getting a little extra juice from the affiliate links. Questions: Does Google still treat hash tags the same as they did 3-4 years ago? Does anyone see using hash tags as worse than something else, like a question mark? Thanks!
