Permanent redirects

I have an old location redirecting to a new location on my site. For the old location I have this in the index.php file:

<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location:http://domain.com/newlocation/");
header("Connection: close");
exit();
?>

Shouldn't Google after a while show the page it is redirecting to? It still shows http://domain.com/oldlocation/, it's been over a month now...

Thanks.

Most search engines stop at redirects - they don't like them.

Depends how you are searching for it. Some pages stay in google's cache for a while if they fit the search terms well, even if they're 'moved' or 'gone'.

I've been hearing that Googlebots crawl a lot less than before. If this is the case, it is likely that Google won't refresh its cached pages for a while.

I use a lot of redirects and they work for me. Google follows them perfectly.

If you have Cpanel use that Rdirect option. It works better with search enginges.
