This is not the usual questions of passing link value using 301 redirect. If siteA.com has 100 links and you then choose to redirect that domain to siteB.com then it's passing the value of 100 links. So what happens with the new links which may generate for siteA.com after the 301 redirect? Will the new links also be passed to siteB.com? The reason I ask is that some marketing is still going out for the original domain so I want to make sure that the whole value of all inbound links will always be passed even after the redirect. Also any advice on whether I should use 301 or 302 redirect in this situation? The best info I can find is that 301 is permanent and 302 is temporary. Thanks!
Thanks orioncs, I found out that it's something like redirecting http://mydomain.com to http://www.mydomain.com permanently so it won't matter where people link to. Any ideas about whether 301 or 302 is better in this situation?
301 is a permant redirect and is the proper solution for you. 302 is temporary, as if you were making a new website design and wanted to temporary redirect visitors to the back-up of the old site.
Sure it will pass the links value to the other URL if you make sure to use the L301 Redirection, but you need to wait for some time...
