Hello,

I have a client that wants to switch his TLD (top level domain) over when the new design for his site goes live.

Problem is his old domain have thousands of backlinks linking back to his old domain.

The plan is to set up a 301 Re-Direct from the old domain to the new domain. I was just wondering if this re-direct will render the backlinks useless?

Any one come across this problem or have any solutions/advice?

TIA

If you use 301 Re-Direct, the new page will be crawled with its new meta tags.

So I think it will retain the backlinks of the old domain.
