  Amit Kumar: Hi,
  
  I have a website A and have 100+ backlink, if I block my website from robots.txt and want to redirect it on Website B, then site B will get the benefit of site's A backlink ?
• 
  Federico Sasso: Short answer: no
  Longer explanation: the search engine cannot discover the redirects as it would be prevented requesting site A URLs because of Site A robots.txt directives.
• 
  Amit Kumar: Thanks +Federico Sasso ;is there any other way to get the benefit of site's A backlink ?
• 
  Federico Sasso: Sure: 301 redirect it without robots.txt-blocking it
• 
  Suraj Gadage: +Amit Kumar ;and you might want to use site move tool option if you want to let search engines know that site A have moved to new location B.
