Experiences with PHP redirects

I've heard from at least one SEO professional that a php redirect file like the one shown here is risky to use (in his words, there were "mixed results" in terms of transferred link equity). I'd like a second opinion; if you've used php redirects, how well did they work for you?

Thanks

  • Better you use a htaccess redirect

    • Thanks for the info; why is this a better method than PHP?
  • What does that mean "transferred link equity"? Is that related to link juice?

    • Same concept (equity = juice)
  • To answer your actual question (which no one has managed so far), a 301 redirect is a 301 redirect no matter what method you use, so in terms of preserving link juice, a PHP redirect is no different to any other method to do a redirect.
  • You can use .htacess file or a PHP redirects your URL to a new location. By doing 301 redirect you can get link juice and backlinks and through this your project ranking will be back in a couple of days.
