Multiple links on the page for more link juice?

Google counts only the first link,
so if you post the link with exactly the same url,
it would count only once.

But how about if we point to the same page through a 301 redirect?
For example link 1 destination: mysite.com/
Then the link 2 destination: mysite.com/index.php [301 to the same page]

I have read that this technique has allowed to rank it for different anchor texts, but would it actually pass it more rank or more value if we use the same anchor twice? or the keyword anchor + plain url.

Please help.

    Why would you want to do that do? I mean, a 301 where it clearly isn't needed!...

    Even if you did that, the effects are not going to be that much (assuming if there is nay "extra" juice, which I highly doubt there is).

    Permanent 301 redirects redirect traffic, backlinks, and bots. The above scenario would NOT work.

    You are better off looking for quality in the links you get rather than volume.

    Redirection gives you traffic only, they won't give you much seo value..

    You'll ain't getting the point. Suppose you have multiple link placements on some websites. Eg you can place your link 3 times. (It doesn't even matter why - maybe I got a script to place 3 links.) If I place them all as exactly same destination url, they will count only once. Thus it might be great idea to place different destination, which in the end 301 to the original page. Do you get the whole idea now?

    I don't think that's true.

    I can't see any benefit in doing a 301 redirect for backlinking purposes.

      How come? I saw a guy testing this and there was a definitive conclusion. Now you come and say that you don't think it's true - I'd love to see some explanation then.

        What??!?! :p I'd like to see your definitive proof!! You mean, all this time, blog commenting was doing absolutely NOTHING because only the first link on the page counted?!!?? Or backlinks via guest posts were garbage because it wasn't the first link, and no other links on the whole page even count?

        Whoa, mind=blown!!!

    Sounds similar to fox chasing her tail . Google is smart enough to devaluate this type of tricks, so I suggest don’t put hope on it.

      Well, I did so already. I had a subpage with a link from top menu, that was overranking my homepage. That page was also useless for the traffic. I linked to the homepage instead and now it ranked higher than the subpage. But that's about it.

    This is load of nonsense as far as I'm aware. The PR of a page is split between the internal and external links on a page. As an example, we have a page. The PR of the page is sent out through the one external link on our page, using what ever algorithm they use. If you then add a second link, the PR is distributed equally between the two links, effectively halving the link juice each links receives. So adding two links pointing to the same page isn't going to boost anything, it should remain the same albeit split over two links rather than one. This is the reason that SEOs look for pages with low OBLs, because the more links the page has, the weaker the link juice that page will be able to give to each external link.

    Google always love fresh original content.

    That will never change. Don't try to trick them.

    They will always win.
