Just a thought
Andy
Will this stir up trouble?
Creating a page that is completely search engine friendly (something thats very hard when creating database driven sites).
Then using .htaccess file to redirect the optimised page to the real site index page.
Would Google read the optimised page at all or would it completely ignore it because of the .htaccess file.
Thank

Clarify the question more.
I'm not sure how else to put it.
If i use the following .htaccess code:
(Redirect index.html [domain.co.uk...]
on domain A where the index page is a snapshop of the original site but optimised for Google.
Would this index page be read by Google? and would it get banned for redirecting to the original site?

Unless you are talking pur cloaking.
Would this work instead?
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location", "http://www.domain.co.uk/index.asp"
%>

In you second example you seem to be sending a 301 redirect to google which is a permanent redirect. this is almost the same thing as what the htaccess would cause.
But they would not work with the same server. For .htaccess to work, you need Apache. VBscript on the other hand, as far as I know, would require a microsoft server.
Yes your right.
I am using ASP on a windows server.
Would Google read an optimised page with the redirect code on it?
