302 Redirect of Home Page - Lost Link Juice?
-
I've got a new client whose site is set up to redirect the home page to another URL, like www.example.com, redirecting to www.example.com/home/, using a 302 redirect.
Am I correct in assuming that links pointing directly to www.example.com are not passing their full value because it is being redirected with a 302 rather than 301?
(In a nutshell, I want to make sure this resource is still accurate: http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/redirection)

Yes, the resource is still correct. The 302 will pass none of the link juice, changing to a 301 will pass most of the link juice (90%+).
