I'm moving my site to a new domain name recently and have set up a 301 redirect from my old site to the new site. I was wondering that if the 301 redirect shift the link value to my new site as well? Or should I inform all my link partners and ask them to update their link page? Thank you
Yes, you get link juice from 301 redirects if they are done correctly. In my experiencie, the link power is less than normal but as i said its just my experience.
Theoretically it shouldn't be but I'm afraid myself that you could be right. Dang, why can't all these things be straight forward and work as intended .
A 301 redirect will transfer pagerank but only until the next pagerank update and to google the pagerank is not true and google knows that so your listings may never show. Your idea of telling your link partners is the better way. Then again you have a chance to start a new slate with the links, don't do the redirect and get links that really matter. About 95% of all links don't help your site, they will drain your site of power. That means only 3% give your site power. The link game is time consuming and to me there is only one way to get links.
I wouldn´t 301 redirect your old pages unless your are quite sure about how to do it. I tried to redirect some of my pages following my hosting guidelines,, and I ended up with half of the modified pages as error pages. I would just create another page with the modifications you want to introduce, leaving the old page unchanged
I have a further question on this subject. Let's say yourdomain.com is de-indexed at G and you redirect that to yourdomain.net (a new domain). Would yourdomain.net be de-indexed s well?
I see google just update the PR of my new site today From 0 to 1 I've tested it with http://checkpagerank.net/index.php The PR is valid
