    When site A get moved to site B, people add a 301 redirection to site A so it passes all link juice from old site to new site.

    It passes all the link juice and is so now-a-days people spamming hell out of this technique in their C&B sites for fast ranking.

    A 301 redirect is a permanent redirect which passes between 90-99% of link juice ie ranking power to the redirected page.

      REDIRECTING
      A redirect is a way to send both users and search engines to a different URL from the one they originally requested.

      PERMANENTLY
      not expected to change for an indefinite time; not temporary.

      301 is permanently redirection if you want to permanently redirect you'r website then i will suggest to you 301 redirection as it's not temporary and passing the link juice 90 to 99%

      i hope you'r issue is resolve.

    Quoting Matt Cuts: "The amount of PageRank that dissipates through a 301 is currently identical to the amount of PageRank that dissipates through a link"

    So the myth that you should not use 301 redirects because it will dissipate more PageRank than using a normal link is not valid.


    The best reason to use permanent 301 redirects is ensuring you don’t lose valuable SEO authority if you need to change URLs or move a website. This directive advises the page has moved permanently, but the directive can be changed at any point if you need to update the redirection. This redirect is the best practice to retain any SEO authority from an old page to a new page.

    hii,
    This is the best way to ensure that users and search engines are directed to the correct page.
    The 301 status code means that a page has permanently moved to a new location.

      301 is different and canonical are totally different
      if your website have two pages with same content then canonical tag inform to search engine that both pages are same and it's not duplicate content.

    301 redirect is the most efficient and Search Engine Friendly method for webpage redirection. It's not that hard to implement and it should preserve your search engine rankings for that particular page. If you have to change file names or move pages around, it's the safest option. The code "301" is interpreted as "moved permanently".

      I will suggest you to use HTML Canonical tag with your URL like <link rel="canonical" href="http://abcde.com/blog" /> or you can also use 301 redirection it will help to your web page redirect.

    301 redirect is a permanent redirect from one URL to the other.A 301 redirect also is often described as a "change of address form" you might get at a post office. If someone doesn't know you moved, you want to make sure all your mail is forwarded to your new place.

    In the simplest of "technical definitions", a 301 redirect is a permanent redirect from one URL to the other.

    For example, if your previous website was www.awesomewebsite.com and you wanted to change it to www.reallyawesomewebsite.com , you'd implement a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new one. Now whoever typed in your old URL (or clicked on a leftover link to your old URL), would automatically appear at your new URL.

    A 301 redirect also is often described as a "change of address form" you might get at a post office. If someone doesn't know you moved, you want to make sure all your mail is forwarded to your new place.
