Does link juice ride a 301? Thanks!

joer80,

You are going to have to be more specific...That's way too cryptic.

Are you talking about crawling out from under a "Black Hat" rock and trying to utilize a Billion landing pages or what?

No, i am not talking about any black hat method.. Just in general does link juice follow a 301 (redirect). An example would be, say i change my domain and move my site doing a 301 redirect. Will i still get some of my link juice from links that wont change with me.

Generally speaking, yes, the link juice is passed via a 301. If done properly and not for spam purposes, the search engines see this permanent redirect and then permanently redirect all links to this page to the new page. You may see rankings drop off for a bit as the search engines take note of the change and then crawl and index the new pages.
