Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for your response guys! We'll probably give it a go

Hi guys,

We have two job websites: one international job website (.com, PR5) and one Dutch job website (.nl, PR0).

We have decided to focus on our Dutch job website and want to 301 redirect the international website to the Dutch website. Will this give us the boost we are hoping for on the Dutch site? Or does a .com redirect to .nl work different than a .nl to .nl redirect for example. We're hoping that the international juice will boost our Dutch website of course.

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Thanks a lot for your responses guys! It's now all clear to me!

Thanks for your response again!

If Paddys Displays is correct though (Example 1), then the follow links would get 10 juice right? Instead of 19,5?

5 Nofollows: 0 juice each but 50 thrown away

5 Follows: 10 juice each (50 juice total)

So 50 juice is given away, and 50 juice is lost? Total 100.

Or is it what you're saying (example 2)

5 nofollow: 0 juice each but 2,5 juice thrown away

5 follows: 19,5 juice each (total 97,5)

Total: 97,5 juice given away, 2,5 juice lost. Total 100

Hello both, thank you very much for your response.

One think still isn't clear though: Paddy Displays says that juice is lost (thrown out of the window), while Jazy states that the juice is not lost, but passed on to the other follow links on the page. Which of both is correct?

So say there is 100 juice. One of my pages contains 5 follow links and 5 nofollow links. Do the 5 follow links get 10 juice each, or 20? And if I'm right, there is no juice retained?

Is it still true that when linking to other sites with nofollow links, the juice is retained on your page? Or is the juice lost, but just not passed on to the other site?
