Just to add nlmy experience / thoughts...

I did this too and traffi has increased steadily (about 10% per month) since I moved the content to the new domain, however...

I had already "prepped" that domain with relarlted conten for about a year before moving the existing content over.

If I were to do this in the future, I would look for a site that has good backlinks that is about to expire and see if I could purchase the domain name and contents from the owner. Then i would see about adding my content to that site. This might be difficult, because anybody who has a site with good backlinks is probably not going to want to sell it, but if you try hard eniugh, you might be able to find one.
