Re: Can javascript redirect harm website
I've used JavaScript redirects with no problems BUT I also include a robot.txt tag that tells the search engine not to index this page. That way if the page is served up as a search result the visitor will be sent to the new page and eventually, the page will be dropped from the search index. (Sometimes you simply can't use a 301 redirect with certain hosting companies and sometimes I may choose to reuse the file at a later date, so the redirect may not be permanent.)
