Hey guys. This may be for those who park many sites or under construction domains to your active content example blogs. I do that often too especially when the same name tld is created (one same name .net/org/biz etc to one site only) example http://athiraazrin.com is directed to athira.net The current Page rank and analytics system don't allow that anymore, so all of the domains linked to it will get a killing by a ZERO PAGERANK. That is happening in this new updates, and what I notice is that a placeholder-wrapper is a better way to do so than of the current method. Just to let you guys know.
Yeah, it's been some months since google started to hit on sites which have many redirects. I think only one 301 is considered legitimate, like oldurl.com->newurl.com(and this only if you don't change thematic of the site), if you add more, then you can get penalty
It is a shame. Because sometimes (in my case, the merger of Webhosts), there is a good reason for more than one redirect! <sigh>
