Does PageRank follow a redirect?

    Are there any kinds of redirects which will apply the PageRank to the end URL rather than the redirected URL?

    Thanks

    A "301 Permanent Redirect" will. A "302 Temorary Redirect" will, but only for internal links. A "Meta Refresh" or any Javascript will not.

    Cryo.

    so you are saying that PageRank will follow within the same domain but not from a link from a different domain?
