Hey.

Usually, when we want to pass link juice, we setup a 301 redirect, right? This is what i am doing with all of them.

What about if i want to pass link juice, but block all the visitors from that url and ONLY get the linkjuice?

Can i setup a 301 redirect to a url and then on the new URL setup htaccess and block the referer? Will that work for what i want?

Thank you warriors!!

    I have never tried that, but if I needed solve such problem I would rather use cookie to identify the visitors. Even though some people have cookies turned off, it is only a small percentage. On the other hand, referrer is not passed more often.

    You can use the referrers but this is not very reliable as it can be easily spoofed. Still it will be a good method to block at least those having referrers.

    What i mean is to go to htaccess and block the URL from the 301 redirect, like this:

    URL1 -> 301 Redirect to URL2

    URL2 website block via htaccess URL1

    This way, i can get the linkjuice but the visitors will not see the website?

    Thank you all

      I am not sure about this, maybe it may work but I have no experience with that. But I believe good solution would be:

      URL1 -> sends a cookie
      URL1 -> 301 Redirect to URL2
      URL2 -> first line of the code: if (isset($_COOKIE['cookie_name'])) {exit;} ...rest of the code here
