I do not believe that this process creates a long term problem of the type you describe, but rather is very much in the spirit of what you quote from the patent. Only Google could comment with knowledge, but I believe this creates less problems than the continually changing content of the default blog home page.

Why don’t you directly apply noindex to home page?
IMO, I think this fools Google in the long run, especially if you update your blog frequently.
Here is a quote from US Patent No. 7627613

Besides submitting the permanent redirect information to Dupserver 224, content filters 210 also call upon the Dupserver 224 to replace the URL fingerprints of permanently redirected outgoing links in downloaded pages with the URL fingerprints of the target URLs of those permanent redirects.

I mean, once google crawl your home page and just to find out it has been permanently redirected to an inner page, google will do something to 301, for example, redirect link juice from home page to the inner page. If you update your blog frequently, em, this might be suspicious behavior in the eye of G. Of course, this is just theory.

Maybe I don’t exactly understand LMNHP or because I’m a seo newbie, anyway, please correct me if I’m wrong.

This is a fascinating article and the first time I have come across this idea. I always thought a home page was a total necessity – anyway I too will be very curious to see how this works out over time, and also to know how the balance of your link portfolio ends up – whether it will indeed end up with more PR distributed to individual pages.

Excellent question, Mert. Bing is difficult to deciper and as yet there is no clear picture there. So far this has been spidered by Yahoo and from the caches it would appear that Yahoo is behaving similarly to Google in recognizing the 301 redirection.

Again as with Google, it is the longer term behavior that is of interest.
