    4. We're working on a site that is a beer company. Because it is required to have an age verification page, how should we best redirect the bots (useragents) to the actual homepage (thus skipping ahead of the age verification without allowing all browsers)?

          • Hi, we are wanting to test a new version of one particular page on our website. What's the best way to run a test for a week without harming rankings. Do we use a 302 redirect or direct 100% of traffic using a tool like Optimizely?
