Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Jamie, Search engines are not the only place you may find links to your pages. Actually, if you have done a good job of promoting your pages across a variety of channels, there should be links out there in a range of different places. You will find a more detailed answer I wrote on this question about removing 301 redirects. Hope that helps, Sha

Hi Bimmer, Thanks a lot for reporting your results. I agree that it is easy for Google to figure out that if Page A 301 redirects to Page B (regardless of which domain each page is on), they can look up the Opengraph counts for both the old Page A and the new Page B and pass the value to Page B. They just haven't publicly acknowledged doing so. That said, Google is a data monster, and OG is open. There's no chance on earth they're not trying to make the most of whatever of that data they can touch. In regards to people changing the OG:url property, I know that there is a way to do that, but, I personally would prefer any new likes to apply to the new domain, and not to an old URL. If Google comes out and says they're passing social value of 301s, then I might reconsider that belief. Thanks again for your feedback, very helpful!

Are you running a content management system like Wordpress? There may be some plugins there that can help tell you. Otherwise, I'm not sure. I'd try possibly a Google Alert for the query site:yourdomainname.com and see if that turns up anything.

Yes, I block my images so people don't steal them. I paid $20 for some of them. Also I don't want my quote page or receipt page to get indexed so I block them. So to answer your question... only certain parts of my sites are blocked, but not the whole thing.
