Does anybody know whether googlebot catergorically follows, or does not follow, the response.redirect?

Thanks in advanvce

No. bots don't read ASP/PHP/JSP code. They only read HTML.

response.redirect doesn't exist in HTML

Response.Redirect sends a HTTP 302 code to the client - a temporary redirect.

Google does follow 302 redirects, but I don't know if it follows immediately, or just adds the new URL to its "index later" list.

Thanx Pete_m

Thats exactly the prob I'm trying to eliminate (url only listings) Looks like I'll have to use noindex,nofollow.

I was hoping to send the "lost Pr" back to the homepage with noindex, follow and an ordinary link on the page.

If anyone else has any suggestions it would be much appreciated.

I was just doing a similar thing actually, but redirecting [example.com...] to [example.com...] There was something on [example.com...] but there isn't anymore and now it just displays the www site.

Do these two count as different sites, and therefore repetition of content, because at the momment i'm response.redirecting them in-case, but at the same time I want to maintain the PR. I'm not sure what the best thing to do is?
