Does a Page (Hit with DMCA) Pass Link Juice if Permanently Redirected?

Hey folks,

Lately, I started managing a website that has good backlinks pointing to its homepage. Unfortunately, that page got removed from Google SERPs because of a DMCA complaint!

What the owner did is to move the site content to a subdirectory (and keep same content). Google indexed the new pages.

Anyway, if my domain name is mysite.com and that specific page is hit with DMCA. Would it pass link juice to the new homepage mysite.com/blahblah?

Let me know if anything is not clear, and how you would analyze such case.

Thanks in advance

Well, the page is supposed to be deindexed. But, searching info:mysite.com on Google returns the mysite.com/blahblah !

@Nargil What do you think about it?

I never got the real-time scenario of this kind of situation. However, I believe we get the link juice since that page was deindexed by Google only not with other search engines. Hence you will get some benefit even google deindexed that page. But you need to think about that redirection, you are redirecting a penalized page to a new page. Not sure this effects the new page also. If anyone confirms on this would be great!

If you 301 it, its going to pass juice, Because I got DMCA removed search results for a movie site. But maybe I am wrong.

I do not have any experience with DMCA, so I can't really comment.

Did Google remove all your site pages from SERPs? Did you recover your rankings using another domain/subdirectory?
