Will the Google juice flow after a redirect?

[Syl20]

If someone links to this page :

http://abonnes.hospimedia.fr/articles/20131004-plfss-2014-les-federations-de-l-aide-a

Will the Google juice flow to this page?

Hi Sylvain

Yes, it will, but you may lose some of the authority passed in the process.

See the answer by Matt Cutts to a similar question about this: http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2010/03/google-confirms-301-redirects-result-in-pagerank-loss.html

I hope that helps,

Peter

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your answer but when I check the redirect with online tools, it says 302 not 301. Are you sure the authority is passed?

Thanks,

Sylvain

Hi Sylvain

OK, if it is a 302 then no authority will be passed. A 302 redirect is an indicator that the redirection is temporary and therefore will change. Until the redirection is changed to a 301 (permanent) then no authority will be passed over from the backlink.

There is more info on redirection here: http://moz.com/learn/seo/redirection

Do you have access to the abonnes.hospimedia.fr sub-domain so you can update the redirection to be a 301?
