SEO gurus? How can I redirect all my traffic and make it look like an accident?

Ok so I want to take all the traffic from a site and redirect it somewhere for 3-4 days or a week if possible. But I dont want to lose all the SE traffic. Usually when your site goes down and you lose your ranks you can fairly easily get them back when its online again.

What would be the safest way to pull this off and make it look like I just had some hosting problems or something?

Edit: wait I didnt clarify enough, I dont want to redirect ALL the traffic, as the SE's would obviously notice that. I just want to take like 80-90% of the traffic away from the site which is feeder traffic. I'm not going to technically redirect the site to anything.. Damn it I would edit this to remove any wording of redirect if I didnt post this from my phone.

Intermittently with 302?

save as secret.php

Code:

<?php

$guy = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];

$num = rand(1, 100);

if ($guy == ""){

?>

var visitor = "google bot";

<?php

} else {

?>

var visitor = "not a bot";

<?php

if($num < 80){

?>

top.location.href="http://redirect.com";

<?php

}

}

?>

call in head of page like <script src=http://yoursite.com/secret.php></script>

when google or any bot checks your page they don't send a referer. so this script checks for a referer , if there isn't one it is likely a bot , so then it will take 80% of non-bot traffic and send it to the url specified.

do something along the lines of what Smokey said, but put the javascript code on a different domain, so it will look like your site got hacked...

What is the point of declaring "visitor" in js then never using it?
Also, if a blank "HTTP_REFERER" means it's the google bot then why would you go and use javascript to redirect when you could do it in PHP?

Smokey probably means that when google fetches ->
<script src=http://yoursite.com/secret.php></script>
it sends no referer... the referer checker is on that page, not on the page you want redirected from...

Don't forget that Google and Bing have toolbars that phone home details of websites that surfers visit, an 80% redirect will stick out like a sore thumb...

put the js code on a page that is loaded in an adsized iframe (that is constructed using js). Put that page on some randomadvertisingrelated.com on another host/ip. could even make it look like its running a notoriously insecure ad system like openx.

if you did a php redirect in a javascript it wouldn't do jack shit except make a script error.

reason why i used it like that is so if a detective surfer was checking out what happened and check the js they see nothing ( blank referer ).

also if by chance a bot does check with a referer essentially they see the same page as they would if they checked without one, they would only detect a difference if they checked both the page and the script both with and without referer.

Careful of lowering your bounce rate to the point where google can see how quickly the surfer clicks on the next result below yours :2 cents:

Sorry but I don't think you can. I mean there is some java codes that redirect google images in a way where you usually will not lose your listing. Mine so far has held up a month after I added the redirect. But it's a wordpress plug not sure what the actual code is.

If it's a blog, you can have it pull from the same dbase as your target site. Great way to throttle SE traffic. There's always a slight chance of penalty though.

Eh my original post was really off target. Basically I want to pull the feeder traffic and send it somewhere else as a test for a week or less, which will cause the SE traffic to dive, so I'm trying to think of the best possible way to ensure that I can regain my rankings after I send the feeder back to the site again.

From what I've experienced many times when traffic takes a dive is that it usually takes double the traffic loss to regain the amount of SE traffic there was before the decline. So if the site loses 10,000 in daily traffic the SE traffic dives and it would take a spike of 20,000 to get back to the previous amount of SE traffic.

Guess I'll just have to do it and hope for the best..
