Do links from a 301'd page count?

Any thoughts on whether links from a 301'd page still count?

The general view seems to be that link "juice" passes with a 301 or at least with G, so in theory wouldn't links from a 301'd page also still be valuable to third party sites?

I haven't had any problems with them passing through (in my short career, that is).

we found that 301 passes both: juice and penalty/ban.

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.

* I have sites that have been 301'd that are clearly still benefitting from their internal nav structure.*

Interesting, as in the example I found none of the pages from the old site turned up as links to the new one, 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.
