Redirect Juice?
-
Hello all!
I have a partner site that is linking their product page (step 1) to our product page (step 2) and then we instantly forward them to our shopping cart page (step 3) with that product added.
Will my product page (step 2) get the SEO juice from our partners link (step 1) even though we instantly forward to our shopping cart page (step 3)?
Curious about ways to technically do this correctly.
Thank you!

Hi James,
Considering that those redirects are 301, there is nearly no loss in linkjuice, as JohnMueller said.
Also, a great study was published by Cyrus Sheperd:
301 Redirects Rules Change: What You Need to Know for SEO - Moz BlogKeep in mind that the middle parts in a redirect chain will never get any authority, as google doesnt see them live. The whole "juice" goes to the last piece of the chain.
Do not never forget that GoogleBot can understand a finite number of redirects: Up to 5 hops. More info about that:
Can too many redirects from a single URL have a negative effect on crawling? - Google Webmaster YouTube Channel Is there a limit to how many 301 (Permanent) redirects I can do on a site? - Google Webmaster YouTube ChannelHope it helps.
Best luck!

SEO Friendly Files Redirected From Images
I have images (.jpg's) of products that when you click them redirect you to a .pdf's containing all the products' specs, patterns, colors, etc. These are 302 redirects that open on a different window when clicked on. Is there a way to keep these redirects and maintain SEO optimization? Any advice is appreciated.

301 redirecting to anchor points
A client has just given me a list of redirect URLs as requested of them. However, they're wanting to redirect a bunch of pages to various anchor points within the same page. For example: /pages/about might redirect to: /pages/our-story#our-mission And: /pages/history might redirect to: /pages/our-story#history Is there any problem with this? I've never seen or been asked to redirect like this before.

What is true impact of permanent magento redirects?
Hi everyone, I got a tough technical SEO question, that is bugging almost everyone in the (ecommerce) company at the moment. Due to a very "unhealthy" structure of Magento folders, with different countries using same folders in different store views, many of our URL's do change almost on a weekly basis and this is terrifying us. What happens is, that there is a "-numberx"(ex. /category/product-1.html) added to hundreds of URLs so that we are more and more concerned about the impact on SEO. I checked the redirect information with the Moz Toolbar and saw, the following information: http://prntscr.com/81v23e So, even though we had URLs with /category/product-1.html, /category/product-2.html,... the redirect seems to go straight to the last number. My question? -Can this be interpreted as one redirect and therefore it is "less" painful from an SEO point of view?

-As we do not have a constant target URL, where does the link juice go if the target page constantly keeps changing (number goes still up) Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks0 -
Sponsored blog - pass any link juice?
Hello there, If a quality blog in our specific niche writes an article about us which is clearly labelled "sponsored post" as we have either paid them or given them a product, will Google discount that link going back to our website? Should we request for the link to be "no-follow"? Thanks Robert

Redirect 301 /fr/ http://www.itris-automation.fr/

Redirect 301 /de/services http://www.itris-automation.de/
Redirect 301 /de/plc-quality http://www.itris-automation.de/sps-qualitat .... However it doesn't work properly: For example automationsquare.com/privacy?lang=fr redirect to http://www.itris-automation.com/privacy instead of http://www.itris-automation.fr/politique-de-confidentialite Does the order of the redirect has an influence? Am I missing something? I've seen that the command [L] can be useful to avoid mismatch? Thanks, Best, Benoit.0 -

301 Redirecting Multiple Domains
I have several complete websites with blogs setup for different geo locations and was considering forwarding them all to one domain directly would greatly benefit ranking. The blogs are all linked together and that is where most of the links come from. Would I benefit in 301 Redirecting the domains?
