Any thoughts on whether links from a 301'd page still count?
glengara - At first I thought you were posting the same question in several threads, but this question is in fact subtly different from the question posed in this thread...
301 passes link "benefit"-a myth?
[webmasterworld.com...]
I can only assume that links from 301'd pages do still count, as I have sites that have been 301'd that are clearly still benefitting from their internal nav structure... and those are indeed links from 301'd pages.
Can't say about brand new 301'd pages, particularly those that have been 301ed to new domains. I suppose they take a while to kick in, but that they eventually will.
...you using allinanchor to determine benefit is passing?
Without getting into a discussion of what "allinanchor" really tells us... yes, that's one of the things I look at.
PS:
...as in the example I found none of the pages from the old site turned up as links to the new one.
"Turned up" where? Ie, how are you determining that the links from the old pages weren't helping?
Also, wouldn't the urls of the old linking pages be rewritten too? I'd think you should be expecting to see links from the "new" pages.
