Hi guys,

I have a rather big travel guide, for which I'm thinking of listing hotels on.
My plan is to give each hotel it's own post/page, add some content (2-300 words), but instead of letting visitors enter the post/page, I will make a direct redirect to the sites I'm promoting.

I'm using Wordpress for this, so the post/page will show up in my archives with links and excerpt, but when clicked, it redirects.

Question is: How will this affect my SEO?

Hoping fo some helpful answers from you guys.

Best,

    So let me get this straight...

    Let's say you have 10 hotel pages. Visitors will not be able to reach these pages. If they try to, they will be redirected to whatever hotel you are promoting?

    Then why bother creating pages with content on them? Spiders will follow the same redirect.

    I would never put that many external redirects on a site. That just looks like you are trying to do something shady.

    First, it makes zero sense doing mass redirects to external domains.

    Second, I have no doubts Google will catch on & shut you down for cloaking or at the very least flagged as a hacked site considering ranked pages/URLs with external redirects are what hackers do.
