301 Redirect: Backlink & PR

does the value of links to X when redirected to Y obtain same value?

I will assume but I have no proof that if you use a 301 redirect, the links that go to the URL that is being redirected applies the PR and backlink to the new URL.

Example:

domainA.com is being redirected (301) to domainB.com.

domainA.com has X backlinks, backlink's PR value is 5. The same PR value of 5 with the X backlinks will be applied to domainB.com.

Anyone have evidence?

Thanks!

Anyone have a clue on this?

rustybrick,

A 301 redirect is the recommended way to preserve PR and incoming links.
