I know there are many kinds, and I am wondering how google treats them. What does google do if it gets a page that: is a 301 is a 302 has header("Location: ... Also my site tiny2.net redirects via header and I am wondering if google will count pages that link to say tiny2.net/api as an inlink to my site or not? Thanks for any help in advance nolag
From my experience all redirects, even on page scripting redirects or times redirects page rank passes completely. Keep in mind that google updates ever month and a half or so. I have even had pages that I redirected the page to another website and I obtained the final websites page rank on its preceding webpage temporarily. dnrenterprises.com was the website that i did this with and it didn't penalize the pr at all.
Would it count inlinks to the original site as well though? I have a site, tiny2.net, that I would like google to notice. The site is a redirect site so I guess what I would like to know is would google credit my site when it makes a header to another site?
I remember reading recent article that there is some PR loss due to 301 redirects? The link below isn't the original article I read, but it gets the same idea cross. (Tried to send a link but realized I don't have sufficient authorization; do a search on "Google Page Rank 301 Loss", that should send you a couple of articles on what I'm referencing). I haven't done any personal testing though.
I would like to get a clear answer on how google handles redirects from one domain to another. Ex: I have a.com and b.com. I want to stop using a.com and redirect to b.com due to name recognition. I have received different advise on how to handle it.
