Hello,

Some time ago I made 301 redirect from "old domain" to "new domain" since I needed to change the URL. After few weeks I gained back my old rankings..

Now I have a question: For example, let's say my "old domain" backlink was on the blabla.com/my-backlink. What If I add my "new domain" backlink to the same place (blabla.com/my-backlink)? Does it carry the link juice? Does it help in rankings? Or is it totally worthless?

Thanks

    I'm not sure if I understood your question, but one thing is sure:

    Open the pages where your backlinks are placed on a browser.
    Click on your backlinks and wait until the page loaded.
    The url in the address bar now is the page that is getting juice.

      You didn't understand my questions. My question is "how to backlink NEW domain after 301 redirect". Is it OK if add my link to same places where are the links of a OLD domain. Or is it worthless?

        It's pretty much worthless.

        Just focus on building links from new sources to the new website

        It's smart to build new links to the 301 as well. You get a little bit more leniency with that one now.

          I thought so, but my inside feeling say that they still give some "value" to my website. Maybe they give more "authority", since my site only depends on redirect at the moment, I don't have any other links at all..

    With a properly created 301 redirect you should pass the majority of your link juice back to your new page. I'd say between 80-90% of the juice goes along just from past campaigns I've ran for clients.

    We've seen a bit of proof of this now that Penguin is out and we've seen this can have an opposite effect as well though and pass "negative" link juice or a penalty to your new site.
