redirecting (referer) back to home page

[Steve Sea]

Hi
I've a small problem, a lot of folk have bookmarked a page on my website and just go to that page and then leave,
Is there a simple (google friendly) way to redirect them to the home page (index) so they have to go through the site.
but I don't want to lose rankings on search engines as they don't like redirects

I remember see a Referer script based on this idea but cant find it, and was it any good !


Any ideas out there.

You can use 301 redirection (http://www.isitebuild.com/301-redirect.htm) (this is by far the friendliest to search engines), PHP (http://php.about.com/od/learnphp/ht/phpredirection.htm), or some others (http://www.webconfs.com/how-to-redirect-a-webpage.php).

As an aside I do have to say that making it harder for your users to locate the information/content that they're searching for is generally a horrible idea.
