Google Like Redirect or Not?

Plz Let me know Google redirection is a black hat techniques OR white hat techniques? and Google like redirection or not, all approximations would be appreciable...

 

Google is ok with 301 permanent redirect

 

It depends on how you use it, if it is your site and you are moving it than your are fine. 301 redirect is recommended by google.

 

What about using a script to redirect rather than adding a no follow?

 

yes with 301 google not give any penalty

 

From the point of SEO the best is 301 redirection.

 

Google allow only 301 redirect

 

There is no right answer to this question. It depends on how you are using redirects as to whether or not Google will be okay with it or consider it black hat. It all depends on the context of its use.

In general, Google is fine if you use 301 redirects to redirect page requests from an old URL to a new URL. In fact they recommend it (http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=93633). The credit for the inbound links (and link text) to the old URL will be passed to the new URL therefore passing PR from the old URL to the new URL. Google will remove the old URL from their index and replace it with the new URL.

However, if you are using 301 redirects to deceive Google and users then it could be considered a violation of Google's Webmaster Guidelines and result in a penalty.

For instance, if your web pages at URL A show Googlebot one piece of content when URL A is requested but redirects users to another URL B when they request Page A, this is a form of cloaking and can result in a penalty should you be reported and caught.

So there really is no 100% correct answer to such a general question. Like most broad questions... it depends on the context in which you are talking about using redirects. You should be more specific and describe exactly in what context you plan to use redirects if you want an answer.

 

Google is okay with you using a 301 permanent redirect. For example, when you changed your URL. Or when you want all visitors to access your website including www. instead of no www.

 

You can type on google and learn about .htaccess re directions.It is very nice way to get everything that you want about redirection.

 

I got a warning from Google Sitemap because using 301 permanent redirect on my site.

Sometimes they like, somethimes don't :|

 

Thank you Anaks - its very useful info. I did many redirects lately and i an a bit worried

 

it depends i think if it is a 303 than it is white hat is it cloacking than it is blackhat

 

thanks for your all posting, your posting are appreciable. as mtblive says about 303 could u let me know know that how it is white hat techniques...

 

I use that does not include www the code for the link

here is 301 redirect code in asp

<%

if instr(request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME"),"www")=1 then

else

Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location","http://www.y o u r s it e.com/"

response.End()
end if

%>

 

Google allow 301 redirect...

 

Getting warnings from Google because your sitemap.xml has URLs in it that redirect has nothing to do with whether or not Google considers their use acceptable or some type of black hat trick.

It's just common sense... Why would you tell Google in your sitemap.xml, "Go to URL A and index it!" and then when their crawler requests URL A, you tell them "Oh crap... no.. I meant go to URL B." Just tell them to index URL B to begin with.

That is why you got the warning. Not because they consider it black hat or bad. If they didn't like them or considered them black hat, they wouldn't be telling you in their online help to use them... http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=93633&topic=15261
