      Hi,

      I am using a 307 redirect to redirect traffic from an old site which has a google manual link penalty against it to a brand new site. My understanding is that 307 will not pass on link juice which is okay as I'm starting fresh with the new site, but I would hate to risk having the penalty from the old site being passed onto the new site.

      I am using a 307 in lieu of have a "Click Here to be directed to new site" page..

      Thanks in advance.

        There is no clear specific data I'm aware of on the use of 307s as compared to 301s.  Given that a 307 is a form of temporary redirect instruction, it technically "should not" pass along bad identification value.  "Should not" is the operative concept here, since search engine algorithms are imperfect and multi-faceted.
