302 server redirects exploit allows webmaster create "virtual pages" rank for terms that pages belonging to another webmaster used to rank for.
Successfully employed, this technique will allow the offending webmaster ("the hijacker") to displace the pages of the "target" in the Search Engine Results Pages ("SERPS"), and hence (a) cause search engine traffic to the target website to vanish, and/or (b) further redirect traffic to any other page of choice.

The ASK crawler follows redirects, and Herf links, to a website. If you do not see the ASK crawler in the log files, then increase the number of links to your website/blog. Sitemaps are also vital to getting the ASK crawlers to visit your website.
