"Google's John Muller said in a webmaster hangout on Friday that GoogleBot will follow up to five redirects at the same time, past that, you are probably out of luck.I don't believe we had a number, a solid number, on how many redirects Google will follow.  This may, and I may be wrong, be the first time Google gave a number on the number of redirects they follow at one time.We had Matt Cutts talk about PageRank dilution through redirects  in the past.Google's John Mueller said this 46 minutes and 3 seconds into the hangout embedded below:Of course, this is useful information for SEOs when doing audits.Forum discussion at  YouTube."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
