**Fix the 'Via This Intermediate Link' in [Google](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/95759/how-do-google-select-ads-for-adsense) Webmaster Tools:**

- It basically means that when there is a redirect, Google will display you where the link came from.
- A 302 Redirect informs search engines that your page has only been relocated temporarily. This is bad since a 302 notifies search engines that the old URL should be kept because it will be available again shortly.
- As a result, search engines do not scan the new pages, and if they do, they will have a low ranking.
- Most significantly, links pointing to old content will not pass link juice to the new domain, resulting in a significant loss in search visibility and traffic.
