301 redirect single page
-
I have a popular page on one domain and I did 301 redirect of it to another domain. Just one single page. Both the sites are very related to each other. Will the backlinks get transferred? Its been more than a week but nothing shows up in webmaster tools.

Hey there,
Sorry for the late reply. For some reason, I don't receive email updates, even if it's ticked.
Anyway, you're right that search engines will pass the link juice to the new domain. Regarding the old domains, Google Search Console will show you all the link as long as the domains are still being set up there. Therefore, I'd recommend to keep all the domains in GSC for the future.
Regarding the strategy, the best way would be the 1:1 permanent redirects 301. This means that you redirect every unique page from the old domain to another unique page from the new domain. You can create Google Spreadsheet where the first column would represent the old URLs and the second column the new URLs. In this case, you have higher chance not to miss anything.
Hope this is the answer you're looking for. Otherwise, feel free to shoot some other questions.
Cheers, Martin

Thanks for the response Martin. From what I understand, webmaster tools will not show those links still pointing to the old domain but the search engines will pass the link juice to the new domain. What's the best strategy to get back links on those sites (in hundreds) to point to a new domain?

Hey there,
Just to make the terminology clearer, you can transfer the link juice (well, majority of it), not the back links. The back links stay the same pointing on the previous domain. However, I'd recommend to change the links to the new domain from the previous pages so, basically, no redirection would be needed in terms of driving the traffic.
Hope it helps a bit. Cheers, Martin

PHP Redirection better than Nofollow?
Hello, if I have affiliate outbound links in my blogs, what's better in terms of SEO, to use PHP Redirection or Nofollow for those links? For example, instead of using nofollow for the outbound affiliate links, I can use some plugin for WordPress that does this: mydomain.com/affiliatesitename1 -> redirects to the affiliate link1. mydomain.com/affiliatesitename2 -> redirects to the affiliate link2. mydomain.com/affiliatesitename3 -> redirects to the affiliate link3. Is this better? Thanks.

How important are directory submissions to my off-page SEO?
Hi Guys, One area of my link building that I carry out is looking for online directories and social bookmarking websites to submit my website to. I do this in order to gain some backlinks to my website. What I want to know is are they really worth my time, and if so, which types would you say are the most important? I have obviously been through many directory lists, both on SEOmoz and on other websites, and also performed various searches to find relevant directories to my website. I just feel that posting up a link that lies deep in a directory online that, more often than not, have very low PA and lots of outbound links will offer very little in terms of SEO. If anything, this could really bring down the quality of my links and be detrimental to my website, right? This is a subject that I have been thinking about for a while and especially with the recent algorithm update from Google and the attack on many web directories that are, lets say, 'not playing by the rules', I'm worried that this will have a negative impact for my website. Let me know your thoughts guys and if you have any tips on how to get higher quality links from these kind of submission then I'm all ears! Matt.

Is there way to identify all back links throughout a site or do I have to check one site page at a time? Thanks!
Sorry if it is obvious, but I can't seem to figure it out. I'd like to be able to run a report that will list all of the back links on every page of my site.
