How To Prevent and Redirect Bad Backlinks

[blackhatxx]

Backlinks are everything when it comes to SEO, and unfortunately if at any given time a "bad" backlink appears on Google...there's not really a whole lot we can do about it.

So with that said, here's a little code snippet that will actually redirect a bot back to Google that may be coming in from that "backlink" and in theory disregard it.

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERRER} domainname\.com [NC]RewriteRule (.*) http://www.google.com/ [R=301,L]

***********PLace in your .htaccess file ***********

You can also use PHP to do a 301 redirect - which would make it a lot easier if you're dealing with a large amount of URLs that need to be pointed back to Google. Just a suggestion since adding thousands of lines in a .htaccess file can significantly slow down your server. :)
