Now the client has designed a new website named www.#*$! and redirected www.blue-widgets.com/red-widgets-leasing.asp to the new website. But the rest of the website for www.blue-widgets.com is running smoothly.
The page already has few rankings in search engine's
Is it the right practice.
But no real harm - unless he is using dangerous redirecting techniques.
People do all manner of weird things in the fond, misguided belief that they are fooling the multiple PHDs of the major SEs. They're happy, the SEs get a good laugh, and they don't always lose all their visitors. And it keeps them off the streets.
The two concerns I'd have are navigation and visitor confusion; take care of them and hope that all stays well.
They must have been reading "How To Fool Google" - the 2003 edition.
Pointless, plus potentially confusing for visitors.
Net gain = 0
Potential damage > 0
But not a lot to worry about; just silly, really.
I have suggested them to remove the redirect from the internal page to the new website
The exact code used for the redirect on the head of the page is
<script type="text/javascript">
window.location.href='http://www.newdomain.com/';
</script>
I am sure this is purely black hat in nature.
Thoughts?
