301s and Link Juice

[kylesuss]

So I know that a 301 will pass the majority of link juice to the new site, but if that 301 is taken away what happens?

Dont take down the 301 before google has re-indexed everything is the best bet... it might take quite some time but it is a worthwhile wait

Hi Yumi,

My question is really asking "If I take down the 301, does the mean that the link juice is no longer passed?"

Thanks,

Kyle

yes , so never ever take it down, especially when the old site has many backlinks to it already ...
