Where is that post? Or was it a different forum. I tried searching it up but cant find it. I thought i wouldn't ever need it.... But now i think its a good idea. Anyone know of the code or how to make a redirect that google doesn't penalize you for?
there's quite a few, flash redirects, meta redirects and JavaScript redirects are the redirects that the search engines can't follow, why? are you planning some black hat work? Even if your not doing this for blackhat and as a way the search engines can't get somewhere, they may see it as you doing a black hat tech
I'm pretty new to this SEO world. I wouldn't want google to penalize my main site....so in your opinion would it affect my rankings if google seen the redirects. And exactly where can i find the safest redirect to use.
If the post was related to redirection you may find that post either inside the Google related forum or Site Server Administration where .htaccess and mod_rewrite reditions are often discussed.
Google can crawl php redirect pages. Use this code for the redirection. <?php header("Location: http://www.example.com/"); /* Redirect browser */ /* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */ exit; ?> Code (markup):
what type of redirection are talking? sorry but i don't understand. 302,404,301 and etc. if am not mistaken it has different code. is this in .htaccess?
GigaSEO is showing a php redirect (code put on a PHP page, not the .htaccess) which I think can be read by search engines (I think I need to come out from my rock ) there are server redirects which are the 301 (permanent) and 302 (temporary), a 404 means the page doesn't exist (bad, very bad to SE's). I don't think there is a proper place to use JavaScript redirects or meta refreshes to my knowledge as it's always been better to use a server redirect.
Oh Ye! man you are right. You can do .htaccess redirects too i.e 301 Redirect. Sorry forgot to mention.
I've used javascript redirects with no problem. I wanted a timed delay where they users would saw a message saying this sinformation is no longer available at this location and you are redirected to the new site. I know no rankings, link juice or PR was passed but in this instance I didn't care. I wrote a script and wanted to stop supporting it and someone decided to take up the challenge
The problem with that is the SE will not see any content on the original page but instead will spider the target page as if it were the original.
