It looks like they recommend the use of the permanent 301 redirection for a temporary redirection. This could be interpreted as a misuse, and search engines may not like it (like <meta> keywords).
The comment on the 301 redirection is interesting. A 302 redirection would imply that the original URL should be maintained since the redirection to another URL is temporary and will be reversed. In this case, the next redirection when it comes along will be to yet another URL. Provided this process is maintained, what we have is a series of permanent redirections with never a reversion to a prior URL.
Just for clarification, as the author of the post, I should point out that this is a guest post and it is most unlikely they would change IMHO.
However I am applying the technique on 4 other blogs and carefully monitoring the results. So far all seems to be functioning well.

Declared by Searchenginepeople.com, which, I might note, does have a home page. ;)
Obviously you didn't read the article. He was using it in the sense of "sucking visitors from the home page to the meaty content of the site," not in the colloquial sense.
Obviously I wasn't clear enough in what I was referring to. Their blog page (not the site root, but the blog root) isn't following the setup they advise. http://www.searchenginepeople.com/blog That's understandable, because it's not as if they had time to change their site right away, but I was just pointing it out.
