      Hey all,

      I'm about to setup a 301 on a website that has pretty good SEO rankings and I have the ability to change all the old inbound links that point to the old site, to the new site - should I leave them pointing to the old site that has the 301 on it or change all the old inbound links to the new domain name?

      Which has better SEO value?

      Thanks for helping,

      Anthony

        Per Google's recommendations, I'd change the links to the new website.

        • How long will old pages stay in Google's cache index. We have a new site that is two months old but we are seeing old pages even though we used 301 redirects.

        • If you do 302 redirect then change to 301 redirect do you lose all link juice?
