: How would Google respond to redirecting visitors clicking on SERP to another page, but not the Googlebot? This page has a good PageRank on Google: http://www.example.org/myrankedpage.php Many users

This page has a good PageRank on Google: www.example.org/myrankedpage.php
Many users search on Google and land on myrankedpage.php
However, I would like for those users to be redirected to the homepage: www.example.org/index.php
Can I add a redirection to index.php (my homepage) without compromising the PageRank of myrankedpage.php?

The idea is to redirect only users coming from a Google search, and not to redirect Googlebot when crawling this page.

You should not do that, it is cloaking, which is against Google Webmaster Guidelines.

Better to link other internal sources from ranked webpages.

The most basic rule of Googlebot is that it is supposed to be treated like any other user. It is a scout that is sent ahead of the user and the user follows in its path. You don’t try to show Googlebot one thing and the user another.

Use the time you are spending on this to improve your content for your users. That is the best way to get better rankings in Google.
