301 redirects don't pass 100% link juice so why waste backlinks to a subdomain that you don't plan on actually using? Are you just saying have it available as a convenience thing in case someone tries to guess your blog URL?
- thinkbohemian 16y agoIs that true? what about 302 redirects? As far as the guessing for blog name if your 404 pages are good enough it won't matter, for me if you go to http://whyspam.me/blog http://whyspam.me/blog they'll still see the link to the blog, even though you're viewing a 404 page.
- qeorge 16y agoAvoid 302 redirects, they pass no PageRank. 301's do dampen PageRank as well, though the exact amount is not known. I've always put it around 10-15% (i.e., after each 301 you are left with 85% of the original value). I also suspect that its contextual - so a 301 from www.mydomain.com to mydomain.com would probably be dampened less than a 301 to a completely different domain (e.g., bit.ly).
