    I was trying to find info on how Google, Yahoo and MSN treat 302 redirects these days. I know a lot has changed and 302 redirects are still not preferred. But how exactly does each search engine treat 302 redirects?

    For example, I'm looking at a site that does a 302 redirect from http://www.mydomain.com/ to http://www.mydomain.com/site/ . What are will happen to the link popularity and page rank because of this redirect (in each search engine)??

    Thanks in advanced!
