Hello

When doing a 301 redirect from Domain A to B (homepage only), I would like to prevent all links from Domain A being indexed in Google, what should I put in the robots.txt, how EXACTLY should the robots.txt look like?

Thanks in advance.

  • There is no way to do that. If you do the 301, the links pointing at Domain A pass to Domain B.

    If you don't want that to happen, don't do the 301.

    • Then why is that stupid **** from the GWT forum telling that I'm not redirecting properly. I really don't get it any more.

  • You want to do 301 redirection and prevent link juice transfer from domain A to B, then why you are using 301? You need to use 302 temporary redirect
