Merging Sites

What is the proper way to merge an acquired site to the acquirer?

Recently, I acquired several sites relevant to my own. I plan to merge them into my primary with a 301 redirect. Any advice on how to properly do this? or will a simple 301 do it without any other fanfare?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Lou_Smith.

If they're all ranking well and have existing content perhaps you could link them to your main site instead. If you have enough content you might be able to maintain them all separately. That's just another idea though.

If you're simply planning to point the other sites to your primary one, then a 301 redirect would be the suggested method.
