willgoogle penalize if i do like this?

I am getting some google tarffic for a site A
If i keep auto refresh code in that to redirect the traffic to Site B after 5 seconds
Will google penalize my site A?
Auto refresh me is 5 seconds after a user enters the site

 

Why don't you just do a '301 Redirect' from site A

 

Don't use meta refresh, a 301 redirect like mintoj mention is the best solution.
And yes using a 5 secon refresh, might give you a pentalty.

 

what is 301 redirect?
also the site A is hosted @ blogger.com and i stopped updating it
But it still gets 1000 unique visitors daily
I want to use them to my site B
what should i do?
Site A and Site B have same niche content,but different content

 

Do research on how to do 301 for blogger.com. That's actually the best solution since google will pass PageRank and links to your new site on the next update. Also your users will be automatically redirected to your new site without any waiting.

301 is a special redirect type named "page has moved permanently" and Google does not penalyze for it. Whilie 302 or meta redirect is "moved temporary" and this method is used for malicious activities and doorway building so google will definately penayze your site.

Hope i made this clear for you.

 

Hi web-fanatic!
Please take a look at what I'm writing below.
Also have a quick look at the recommendations regarding redirection with Javascript or META tags at the bottom.

Chose method and techniques based on your server technology.

HTTP 301 Redirect in ASP-VBScript
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
' Permanent redirection
Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location", "http://www.yourdomain.com/"
Response.End
%>

HTTP 301 Redirect in PHP
<?php
// Permanent redirection
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://www.yourdomain.com/");
exit();
?>

HTTP 301 Redirect in ColdFusion
<CFHEADER statuscode="301" statustext="Moved Permanently">
<CFHEADER name="Location" value="http://www.yourdomain.com/">

HTTP 301 Redirect in Perl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
print "Status: 301 Moved Permanantly\n";
print "Location: http://somewhere/page.htm\n\n";
exit;

Redirection with mod_rewrite
The rewriting rules can be placed in httpd.conf (for server-wide rules), or in .htaccess files (for directory-specific rules). Consider the following example that is in the .htaccess file of this website:

rewriteEngine on
rewriteRule ^contact\.php$ http://www.yourdomain.com/p2.php [R=permanent,L]


To avoid Google indexing issues, I've redirected all non-www traffic to the www prefixed host. I also redirect the default, index pages to the root directory. The rules to achieve this are as follows:

# redirect all non-www traffic
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain\.com$
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.yourdomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=permanent,L]

# Redirect aliases of home page to the root website
rewriteRule ^index\.(php|html|htm) http://www.yourdomain.com/ [R=permanent,L]

Redirection with Javascript or META tags
You can not send a 301 status code via Javascript or META tags but any page rank of the old location will not be transferred to the new location.

Another disadvantage is that some browsers disable Javascript or META refresh. Therefore, one must include a link to the destination page in the body of the page. One can also add a delay between when the page is displayed, and when it redirects. However, I would strongly discourage this and will not even describe it here.

Good luck,
DataTrond

 

I wouldn't recommend the auto refresh at all, it might give you a penalty and the visitors will probably not like it as well.
301 redirect is a much better option.

 

Just redirect it or make a blank page and put one small link at the middle to your website.

 

do't use auto refresh just use ajax for that part of page

 

Hi,

Google wont penalize if you redirect to different page. If that is the case, there is no meaning fro affiliate program.

Srinivas is right...

Look at this http://girdharilaljewellers.com

 

putting a link requires the user to take action. I'd 301 to the page rather than linking.

 

You have got the wrong end of the stick there. 'Hopefully' your thinking about just encouraging traffic to click onto a link that takes them to another site (as you do in most forms of affiliate marketing), whereas this conversation is talking about the different methods of moving visitors automatically to a different site as soon as they click on your site. If you were to do that with affiliate marketing you would prob get penalised very quickly

 

I am still looking for the same situation.

 

i too had a similar situation ...i did a temp redirection (302) and the pr didnt transfer

 

Penalyzing for such redirect isn't guaranteed but is possible, so 301 redirect is the only absolutely safe way. It's your choice only - to risk or not to. But I'm really not sure, if there is an easy way to set up 301 on blogger.com.
