Great article but I saw this one very late only. I have a blog which in on blogspot and two months before I purchased a domain. I was really confused at that time with this redirects. My previous address had PR1 but the new one lost the PR. Yea a small damage. But now my new URL is boosting and I forget the past bitter experience.

Hi there,

I checked your old blogger address in our header checker tool and the redirect it is using to your new .com TLD, is in fact a 301 permanent redirect – I assume you have corrected whatever the problem was.

You have pointed out some critical facts, but not lacking in details, hence it cleared my doubts about which redirect to use. Thumb up for your clarity for non-technical information for casual blogger like me who is also designing websites as a passive income.

Great stuff Scott. I’m actually implementing a 302 right now, and may have that rare situation. I have a client whose site just moved from a server running ASP only to a server running PHP only. About 10% of the pages had urls like filename.asp. The other 90% had just /name/ so they don’t need to change. Anyhow we need to redirect filename.asp to filename.php… but we only want to do this for like 2 weeks b/c we have a new site redesign coming out and at that time we’re going to re-re-direct those pages from the old filename.asp to /name/ convention so we don’t have this issue in the future!

the 301 redirect to avoid spammers cloaking is great, but for sites that do have this need geniuenly its an problem. For example a site that expands and buy new domains which aren’t aged still have to use a 302 to move pages to another domain page, otherwise all the old traffic will go for 12 months until the new domain is aged.
