Default 301 Redirect, anti-seo?

So, I have my ezinearticles links going to a subdomain on my main blog domain in order to appease their requirement for having the domain only link (without a directory at the end). On the sub-domain i have a php 301 redirect to the page I want click-throughs to land on.

Is this going to kill that backlink credit as well as screw with my seo? Is there a better way to do this without having to go through a sub-domain redirect?

Thanks in advance.

No..

This is quite a reliable way of doing it..
A 301 redirect means that the destination url has moved to a new location.

Say your have abc.yoursite.com redirecting to www.affiliatesite.com?id=123 with a 301 redirect

Eventually the search engines will subsitite all references to abc.yoursite.com with the url of the affiliate site.

It a very workable system and is a recommended method assuming you will never try to get abc.yoursite.com listed in the search engines!

Remember, search engines treat subdomains different from main domains, so the 301 redirect won't effect the main domain..

Hope this helps

Take care

Bruce

Yes and no, it's going to kill the backlink credit for the subdomain itself, since the 301 passes all link value to the landing page in your example.

So, fine and the best solution if the landing page is on your domain, bad if the 301 goes directly to an affiliate link.

I don't see any other recommendable ways to do it if they demand a domain/subdomain, it's the cleanest solution and not violating any Google TOS.

here a related news for you:
Quote:
In the past if the old-page.html page was deleted and redirected to the homepage then the homepage would also start ranking for that query. Now this doesn't seem to be happening, in effect the link is still (perhaps) passing PageRank but it isn't passing anchor text.
