302 Redirect

How exactly does a 302 redirect work. I have a.c0m at the front page of google for a keyword. I want the the website to display the content on b.c0m. without losing any rankings or passing on any linkjuice. Is a 302 redirect the way to do that?

If I do a 301 redirect, it will pass link juice and I'm assuming that a.c0m will drop off the rankings and b.c0m will take its place?

The same thing will happen with either one, both pass link juice. You can't rank a forwarded domain. Though I'm pretty sure you can rank a 'masked forward'.

302 means temporary redirection. They don't pass link juice.
See the interview with Matt Cutts:

Eric Enge interviews Matt Cutts

and his statement:

Matt Cutts: "302s are intended to be temporary. If you are only going to put something in place for a little amount of time, then 302s are perfectly appropriate to use. Typically, they wouldn't flow PageRank, but they can also be very useful. If a site is doing something for just a small amount of time, 302s can be a perfect case for that sort of situation."

  so what if I do a 302 redirect and just let it be for a few years. How is that going to work?

Just because a 302 redirect is temporary, it doesn't mean it has to exist for a temporary period. There's nothing stopping you using "permanent" 302 redirects.

The WordPress Pretty Link plugin uses 302 redirects by default.
