Redirecting a page loved my Pintrest

[danlovesadobe]

Hi all,

I'm after some advice on how best to redirect or retain any value a page might have from it's social shares (mainly Pintrest & a little FB). The page's original purpose was to be useful for people and hopefully pass some Google Juice to the main product page.

I've created a new website and 301'd the pages to their new home. Now I'm going through my blog and I have a few pages that continue to get pinned around on Pintrest. Not sure the best way to retain the value. I was thinking of recreating the page on the new site and setting up a 301 redirect but I'm not sure if Pintrest follows along. Or maybe leaving the page on the old site and having a link to my main product page there (and it passing some value to the new domain).

What do you think? Any other ideas that would be better?

The page is: http://www.bringyourownlaptop.com.au/news/indesign-shortcuts-that-will-change-your-life/

The new home is www.byol.com.au.

Thanks in advance Moz'ers!

Sounds like a plan Dave!

Nice to get a second opinion.

301 Redirect, so that the old URL disappears from existence.

Google will still love you as you have fixed a duplication error, the URL on Pinterest will still be valid because it resolves to 301 not 404 and everyone will start seeing the new page instead of the old and so are less likely to Pinterest the old page.
