I have a page that gets a decent traffic from google. However, i don't want it to be accessed directly by users arriving from google.
so i do a check (using Java) to see if the referer is google.com and if so i redirect users to an index page using response.sendRedirect("/index.jsp"). I believe it this call is equivalent to sending a 302 http status code ("temporarily moved") to the browser. this does what i want it to do. Here is my question though: Is it possible that Google will stop indexing this page because accessing it via searches constantly results in redirects?
Any ideas will be appreciated!
