Purchased a domain with lots of backlinks - will it improve SEO?

I have a new website with a domain (abc.com) which obviously very low ranking on search engines at the moment.

I've also just purchased an expired similar domain (abc1.com) which has a birth year of 2005 and around 2000 backlinks.

Aesthetically my preference is to keep abc.com however I assume there is a lot of SEO value in the abc1.com domain?

Want to get peoples opinions of the following options?

  1. redirect abc1.com to abc.com (abc as the primary domain, is there any added SEO benefit?)
  2. change abc1 to the primary domain (any drawbacks?) and then use 'abc' as a redirect to 'abc1' on instagram/facebook etc.

Would love some help on this! Thanks!

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns.

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
