      I have a site that has a lot of url differences. Due to coding we sometimes have to 301 to a page that is 301'd to another. Is there any danger in doing this?

        Matt Cutts suggests that chaining 4-5 or more redirects in a row might start to be dangerous, but simply 301ing one page to another 301'd page should not cause any problems. http://www.searchenginejournal.com/matt-cutts-discusses-301-permanent-redirects-limits-on-websites/46611/

          I heard Matt Cutts say the same thing.

          Remember that when doing 301s, not all the link juice is passed. Matt Cutts also says that.

            Exactly was I was looking for. Trying to Google it for some reason was giving me problems.

                I believe the original poster has just one site and is taking about individual pages within the site.

                  Yup, we just have one site but it needs all sorts of redirects. We have a site such as www.neat-stuff.com and most people just type in without the dash. We completely redid the site with all new urls so we had a lot of redirects to do.
