Redirection

Hi
I was wondering what mean the term "pass through" redirection. Means that is a 302 redirection? Because i want to make a 302 redirection with the redirection plugin and I cant find it in options. the only what I can find is the pass through term and the 301.
thanks

I already quit it guys! Thanks a lot for advices!

Yeah, I'm 100% with Keri - that seems like a really dangerous strategy - 1000s of sub-domains are likely to fragment your site and this is going to look like a low-value tactic to Google. The ranking ability of that extra keyword will be very small, and you could just as easily put it in a directory.
You're also at some Panda risk generating 1000s pages (sub-domains, etc.) just to rank for keywords. In most cases, this is thin content. Granted, I don't know the details of what you're doing, but I'd strongly advise against this.

I'm not sure this is quite the best strategy to use. A 302 isn't meant to pass link juice, though I believe Bing will treat it as a 301 if it sees it there long enough. Instead of spending the time to create over 1000 subdomains, it is generally a better use of time to just create the content on the main domain itself.

yes but I mean on the redirecto options I CANT find the 302. i have some 1000 + keywoirds and I want to have for each of them a subdomain as none of the keywords have his own domain name. and they are all about 10-30% difficulty. my idea was to make a subdomain, to put a small article and after to redirect it to the original blog post on the main site. thats why i need the 302 so the url stay on the search engine. thanks

Hi Nikos, Redirection is a WordPress plugin to manage 301 redirections and keep track of 404 errors without requiring knowledge of Apache .htaccess files. This is the only term"pass through" redirection means.
For more information please refer to this link:

For me, pass through redirection is even 301 or 302. I did some research and didnt found anything different. Pass trought is the 302 in this case

Using one domain for email and another domain for your website, but redirects...
We are rebranding and our new name is fairly lengthy. We own all main domain versions of our brand name - .com, .new and .org - There is a very high search volume for the new brand name as it is a merger of 2 popular existing brands so want to take advantage of that and use our full name within our website domain name. However, since the name is a little long as mentioned - 25 characters - we also own the 3 character acronym of the new brand so we are debating on using the acronym for our new email addresses. ie name@abc.com so it is user friendly. We would obviously redirect the acronym email domain to point to the longer website domain. Are there any negative SEO effects if we do that? Use the longer domain for the website and shorter acronym for our email? Thank you

Why is redirecting all broken pages to the homepage is a bad idea?
I have a site where all broken pages are redirected to the homepage. I've been told that it's a bad idea in terms of SEO. I just can't figure out why 🙂

How do I redirect a page that no longer exists?
I changed the name of a blog article I wrote and the original name is giving a 404 error. I am not sure why it isn't being directed like the other articles I renamed to improve SEO. Since the webpage no longer exists, I don't know how to redirect it. I use Wordpress and Thesis. Thanks!

301 redirect not working
I setup a wordpress blog about 6 months ago called Infographic Directory on this URL: http://infographicdirectory.wordpress.com and less then a week after I set it up I was #1 on Google for infographic directory and my posts were ranking reasonably well. Because the blog was quite successful and got nearly quarter of a million visitors in the first few months I decided to take it a bit more seriously and purchased a proper domain name: http://infographic-directory.com I set up a proper 301 redirect about 6 weeks ago but my rankings are still terrible - worst then ever. I am getting outranked on Google for infographic directory by my Crunchbase.com listing for the blog name: infographic directory and my blog posts are not showing up in the rankings at all. Should I just be patient or do you think I might have been hit with a penalty or something?

301 Redirect & Duplicate Content
We currently have 16465 audiobook products presented at our Web store. 5411 of them are out-of-publication (OOP). Here's an example: Harry Potter Audiobook 2 : Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - J.K. Rowling - cassette audiobook Many of the 5411 OOP products are duplicates and triplicates of one title but were offered on a different medium (cassette, CD or MP3 CD) or were a different type (abridged, unabridged, dramatized). The description (story-line) is the same for all. Because we know once a page gets on the Internet, it can live there for years, we decided to keep OOP product pages at our Web store to: Let those who may have searched for the product and clicked on a link to an OOP product's page that it was no longer available. Invite them to explore our Web store. Let them know that although the product may not be available on cassette, CD or MP3 CD, that it might be available as a digital download. We know that Google does NOT like duplicate content from one site to another and even within the same site. If we redirect all the 5411 pages to one OOP page, will this eliminate this duplicate content issue? The OOP page would explain that the title they were looking for is no longer available but that it might be available as a digital download.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you Dmitry

Best practise for domain redirect
Hi guys. I have a client that has one main site, with the domain IMOWOOD.PT (Portugal), and then we have the domain IMOWOOD.COM (redirecting to .PT). The problem is (that i verify using site:imowood.com) in Google, apeears that the domain .COM have a lot of indexed pages! This will penalize the 2 pages right? Because the duplicated content (?). What i want to know is... if i have 1 domain (the one i want to be index) what should i do, to do a proper redirect from the .COM to the .PT, making the .COM not indexable? Right now the .COM only redirects @ index page. Dont know why... I've used the domain redirect @ my cPanel. So... whats the best practise for domain redirect? Thanks!
