asp redirect hurting SERPs??
Hello all,

We have a new web site, gobigwest dot com, that redirect to
gobigwest dot com /preportal/index.asp.
It uses asp code: Response.Redirect("preportal/index.asp")
Does that affect SERPs? Would it be better if there was no redirect?

Found alot of php redirect post on this forum, but nothing about asp redirects.
Thanx for your thoughts.

Fx (newbie)

Why do you redirect? I have never understood why people redirects from their main page to another folder.

But to your question, this redirect will send a 302 header, which isn't the best header to send (it will not transfer PR). You have zero PR on preportal/index.asp, but have PR on your subpages, which may confirm this.

If you absolutely wan't to redirect, a 301 (permanently moved) is better:
Code:
<%
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently" 
Response.AddHeader "Location", "http://www.gobigwest.com/preportal/index.asp"
%>

Question
Has anyone done the test of removing the homepage redirect and see SERPs change?

But it is not a "Moved Permanently", it redirects you if you are not logged in.
Is that still ok?

Yes...certain redirects are needed, like "not logged in". you can just put the code all on one page so if they are not logged it, it will just show the login code....
