Google Juice

On Twitter @dhinckley said that according to Moz over here, 302 redirects pass zero "link juice," also known as PageRank. John Mueller said that is not true.

Google's John Mueller said in response, "I don't know about "link juice" but I do know how PageRank is handled." "There's still confusion on 302/301 from the olden days; 302s are fine," he added.

In fact, last month, John Mueller said 302 redirects pass PageRank.

So, do not believe everything you read out there, including what he read here ;-).
