Let’s talk redirects | Search Off the Record

Redirects are a genuine approach to moving something from one place to another. In this episode of Search Off the Record, John and Martin talk about the different types of redirects and which one you may want to use. They share the differences between 301 and 302 redirects, what type of redirects 308 and 307 are, why someone may want to use a JavaScript redirect over a meta refresh-type redirect, and more. They also cover merging and splitting domains, frustrating geo-targeting redirects, and redirects for mobile and desktop.

Can we cancel a 301 redirect? Suppose someone gets hacked and their site is getting 301 redirect so once the hack is dedected would google reverse the value to the main url?
