301's and backlinks



Yes, you can do that... It's done all the time. However, there are differing opinions on how much link juice the 301 passes. Most people believe its not 100%.
 
Hi,

It does not pass all the link juice to your site. The 301 redirect is used if you want to send thounsands of spammy shitty links to your site, and Google knows that. That is why you won't get the link juice. You'll get some though.
 
If 301's passed all their link juice theyd be more powerful then a standard link and the wouldnt work. Plus we'd have all these sites with 301 link menu navigation as compared to regular page nav links.

So to make the system work they have to lose some value
 
From my experience 301 is passing less and less link juice but still helps especially when you have a problem with sandbox.
 
301ing a site that is completely irrelevant to another site like in your example above from a dog website to casino website will do more harm than good.
 
there are lost of views and thoughts about this question is 301 passes link juice or not??different experts have lots of different ideas and experiences and they shares but i think 301 redirects tend to pass lots of link juice from the old page to the new page many websites that move from one address to another tend to perform well, some of them even experiencing an increase in traffic after the change.

I done a test just last week and 301'd a #2 page to an existing site (same topic but not ranking) ended up with existing site dropping into #3 79k em kw.

I even tried it with a second redirect in between and got the same result.
 
you guys just revived an 8 month old dead thread

anyway to OP it will work but def google does not give the same credit and normal values of velocity and penalties may apply and be passed on even with 301 these days
