Brent Wildman: You say both redirect and link in your question. Redirecting domains is fine. Linking can be trickier depending on how you do it. You don't want it to look like a link scheme or network.
AMA DataSet: Hi +Valentina Alessandrini, It would be fine redirecting unless you tried to mislead users. e.g. example.com and example2.com are a different unrelated topic redirecting to mainwebsite.com
Federico Sasso: On top of the answers you already received: redirecting should be done with a "301 Permanent redirect" (i.e. not a 302 temporary one)
Valentina Alessandrini: Thanks all!!!
