Best way to leverage a purchased domain?
Our company offers a subscription-based service, and we have the opportunity to buy the domain of a former competitor that has gone out of business. The domain has a Google page rank of 5, and an Alexa rank of ~375,000. The domain was registered in 1994, has about 50 other sites that link in to it, and it has fairly good natural placement in Google and other search engines for a number of relevant keywords. We're told that the site gets about 100 unique visitors/day with no advertising (but we've not confirmed this yet).
We do not want to run a whole new site and different brand of our service under this domain. But, if we decide to buy the domain, what would be the best way to leverage the domain, from an SEO perspective, to drive traffic to our site? Simply do a 301 or 302 apache redirect of the entire domain to our site? A one-page site that simply says "xxxxx is now yyyyy, you will now be redirected..." with a javascript redirect and/or link to our site? Or, a small site with a few pages of information, and a 'subscribe' link that links to our site?

If your current website is hosted and you are not using a website builder. Then my recommendation would be to just copy the same exact files in to the new domain host. If you are using a website builder and cannot duplicate your website on another domain, then set up a webpage with good keywords, a couple of site navigation links linking to intrical parts of your current site and leave it at that. As far as domain forwarding is concerned, search engines now-a-days pick up seo info from the page its forwarded to.
