Social mentions and 301 to new domain

[hellemans]

Hi all,

I have noticed that when moving to a new domain your normal links will move along with you when you set proper 301 redirects and use google webmaster tools. But I'm under the impression your twitter mentions, fb likes etc. on the different pages will be lost...

I'm looking forward to your comments and ideas.

Cheers

As far as i know FB and Twitter uses nofollow on all links so it wouldn't affect your search engine ranking anyway. Since you're doing a 301 all visitors should be redirected to the correct page anyway. So i wouldn't worry too mucch about it.

Sure they are no-follow but since I was pushing people to share the different longtail pages I have seen a raise in the longtail rankings so I'm under the impression these share did have part to do with that.

I'm under the impression the Panda update changed quite a bit...
