Hi,

This has probably been covered, but I'm a n00b, so plz understand. I searched yahoo! for the category I wanted to be listed in (fitness) and came across a site (on page 2 sadly) of the directory listing that had let his/her domain expire.

I went to a domain auction, and bought the domain for $100. It should transfer to me soon.

Question is, do I put a 301 error and redirect the page to my site, or should I put a page with a refresh to my site? Again, I doubt the yahoo! listing will bring much traffic as it is on page 2, but I'm hoping it will help my pagerank. So in terms of pagerank, what is my best option?

depeding on the url it may be worth building that site out, but if you just want raw pagerank 301 it
