  • Should i use a 301 redirect when changing my home page title?

  • My Question:

    A link on a side page ranking 0 (Main page ranking 3) pointing back to my site,

    Does Google consider this a good link, or would this link have more power coming

    from the Main page?

    Kind Regards

    Cape Town,

  • Thanks for clearing it up

  • New redirect sites crop up every day, make sure you pick one that does what you want it to.

  • Thanks

  • Got it, thanks,

  • Thanks for the clarification Matt, I feel like lots of folks can't grasp this concept. Your video will be great for future reference...

  • It depends on if the shortening service is using 301 redirects or not, Google will just follow whatever the shortener is doing.
