302 redirect

Hi guys,

Would you recommend me a 302 redirection (moved temporarily) on banner links that are on my blog, or should I simply use nofollow ?

Thanks

 

You should use nofollow instead of using 302 redirect. Temporarily redirect may harm your domain authority as it has been abused years ago before and now Google pay much attention for this kind of redirect as spam attempt.

 

I would have to agree with Sxperm. Noindex is the best way.

Its better not to tell Google about something than to have it look elsewhere for it.

 

why you have banner in your site or blog, is it banner exchange then it should be 301 and dofallow, else i misunderstod it

 

302 wouldnt make any sense for that. nofollow would be perfect for this.

 

302 means you tell robots the content is yours, so you will be harmed by the bad content.

use nofollow
or use a redirect folder/file that blocked by robots.txt

But here is an example of a website that is using 302 redirects for all his banners and he is doing well: 101waystomakemoney.com.
I know because I used a network sniffer and it is obvious he is using 302. See image:

 

I would also suggest using nofollow tag to affiliate websites or for websites you are not sure about
