Can I speed up a 301 by getting external links to my 301'd pages so Google will spider it faster? I'm thinking of links from blogs, social media sites / bookmark sites etc. Also, do I need to keep links in place somewhere so Google will spider eventually.
I'm asking because I'm 301ing a site. I've done it url by url. It's a small site but Iam doing a much bigger site soon.
Should I have left the home page un-301ed (with new links to all pages on site now 301'd) to encourage Google to reindex my site "from within" so to speak.
At the moment the home page is gone, spidered and 301'd. Wouldnt that immediately break the flow of "google juice" around my site and make them kind of orphans?
Do these pages have any value?
Mind you they still rank for some phrases, so are of some use.
