Will a 301 Redirect Transfer All SEO work?

So I paid $200 to have my squeeze page get to page one of google for a highly competitive search term, even though that site has no content. I'd like to take that SEO capital so to speak and transfer it to my blog. Would a simple 301 redirect transfer all that good link juice and the search rankings and transfer it to my blog?

In other words, my squeeze page is #9 on google for XXX search term - would my blog be #9 on google for XXX search term if I just redirected my squeeze page to my blog?

Thanks!

    If it works now: do not touch it.

    In theory it should be fine with a 301 redirect and in theory your blog should be on the same position.

    You know the difference between theory and practice:
    In theory:
    It will be sunny with only a slight chance of light rain
    In practice:
    They are just pumping the "light rain" out of your basement.

    So: I would leave it as is.

    PS:
    Would you mind sharing who did the SEO work for you? Just send me a PM.

    I would think that other factors might come into play with how the blog is ranked after
    the 301 redirect, including keywords used, competition for those keywords, etc, etc. I second hpgoodboy.

    I have successfully transferred SEO from one domain to another using 301 Redirects before.

    The honest answer is that it has worked previously as Google said it would. But who knows what Google will do with that in the future. Will it continue to work into the future? Who knows? Most likely, but no one can make guarantees.

    I would advise carefully considering how you handle it. I used a 301 Redirect on a domain that I eventually turned back on, so it took a bit longer to get that value back.

    The 301 is a Permanent Redirect.

    The 302 is a Temporary Redirect.

    Both passed SEO value in 2010, but they passed the SEO value differently.

    You can get the gist of how they handled it with this article:
    How does 301 and 302 Redirect affect SEO?

    Here are some additional articles that will help you to understand what to do:

    If you are getting traffic and making money, don't touch it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you do not make money, do the 301 redirect, what's the worst thing that can happen, right?

    Anyways let us know what happened with that rank.

    That's just crazy.....don't mess with it....

    You managed to get a salespage to page one for a competitive term.
    Your sales page should be converting like crazy, or should convert way
    better than a standard blog would. Take advantage of that and keep it
    The way it is.

    I wouldn't touch it personally, but if you must, do a 301 redirect and leave it redirected for atleast a year without removing it.
