(Continued) The RFS Newsletter, Apr. 1, 2006. Page 11 Now, according to http://www.google.com/webmasters/3.html#A2 at Google, that search engine seems to be asking everyone to use a 301 in all cases! But that very same page also refers us to page 62 of the HTTP v1.1 standards document (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt), which clearly gives 302 and other 3xx as viable alternatives, especially if you don't know if the domain change is going to be a permanent one. That 2004 article of yours was put out before Google's aging-requirement algorithm was introduced, and you didn't happen to mention in your 2004 article whether "business.com" (that was moving to its www.business.com counterpart) had performed the 302 properly (i.e., without a *forced* redirect) according to the HTTP standard. So I'm curious as to whether, in your opinion, Google would still frown upon a 302 redirect if the site using it is well-reputed and does not induce a forced redirect to the new page. Is 3xx denigrated by Google in general, so basically although the standard gives 3xx alternates, we're only ever supposed to use 301, to please Google? Or, is Ms. Claiborne actually correct about 302 being just as good as 301, and even ... leagues better, for new domains that would otherwise have to "sandbox" for 9 months? << Pr. page Next: Google penalizes a Billion dollar company because of a 302 >> Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18  Subscribe to the free Rank for Sales Weekly Newsletter Bookmark the RFS Newsletter by simply clicking here.
