      After 301-ing a domain to a new domain, how should we tread the changing of the backlinks to the old domain?

      We might be able to have a certain amount changed rather quickly.

      Should we consider the new domain as a "new" domain, and in this sense, not have them changed quickly, (afraid to trip any filter)

      Or wil Google see the new domain (after indexing) with the authority of the old domain, so , if the backlinks are direct or coming through a 301 will make no difference?

      Hope my question is clear and excuses for my english 😛

      Thanks for reading and hoping for input,

        Maybe I can't get it right, but here a shot:

        When you are redirecting the old site, every incoming link it has will loose about 10% link juice. If you can contact with the sites linking to you and change the links than go ahead and do thatas soon as you can, just be sure to do the 301 so google will see that the new domain got so many links so quick as it is a redirected old site.

          Thanks Zsolt,

          Yes, you do understand what i mean.

          "so google will see that the new domain got so many links so quick as it is a redirected old site."

          The only thing i am afraid of is if i contact the sites and they change the link from the old to the new site, and i get many to do so quickly, google might frown up, because i am gaining to many links to fast wich are not 301-ed.

            The redirection of your old domain to the new one should clearlc indicate google that the site is actually the same, you have only changed the domain name. Google should handle this.
