Temporary Redirect
-
I am having lot of Temporary Redirect on my reports, and all the links points to my ads server (openX).
like this:
http://ads.espectador.com/mod2/www/delivery/ck.php?n=a04fb31e&cb=138097
Here in this page there is an example.-
How can I fix this?
Thanks

I have done that.
Lets see what happens next week...
Thanks

If you can keep doing it manually, then that's what I would suggest. If you want to try the robots.txt route, try putting the following code in the robots.txt file in the ads.espectador.com root -
User-agent: *
Disallow: /Here's a helpful blog post with more details - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/robot-access-indexation-restriction-techniques-avoiding-conflicts

I am doing manually for now, but if I use robots.txt and my site is www.espectador.com and my ads url is ads.espectador.com
Where shall I put the robots.txt telling not to follow that address? in the root of espectador.com site or in the ads.espectador.com root?
Thanks again

Yes, you should add the nofollow tag to each ad that has the 302 redirect. Or if you have a lot of ads where it's not feasible to manually add the nofollow tag, you could just use robots.txt to tell the search engines/OSE not to follow them.
I also found this forum post which may have a macro solution - http://forum.openx.org/index.php?showtopic=503507808.
You can create html banners and set this value through those.
Create a banner. choose "generic html" as the type.
Put html in the banner area. This will be something like -
Every href in that page is a different ad, so I can add this rel nofollow at the end of every a href
[Is this a solution?
Or I can do something more macro and not for every ad?

In the seomoz recomendation I have this:
Temporary Redirect
Found 2 days ago
<dl style="color: #5e5e5e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">
<dt>Redirects to</dt>
<dd>http://ads.espectador.com/mod2/www/delivery/ck.php?ct=1&n=a04fb31e&cb=138097</dd>
<dt>Description</dt>
<dd>Using HTTP header refreshes, 302, 303 or 307 redirects will cause search engine crawlers to treat the redirect as temporary and not pass any link juice (ranking power). We highly recommend that you replace temporary redirects with 301 redirects.</dd>
</dl>
<a class="more expanded">Minimize</a>
How can I do that if all this urls are different? (for each ad campaign)

I can't access your report, but generally there is no problem using temporary redirects for your ads server. I would just suggest putting nofollow on your openX links so search engines/OSE don't try to crawl them and you'll stop getting the errors in your reports.

Is it a good practice to reduce number of redirections (301) after a period of time?
Is it good to use disavow tool and get rid of old URLs i.e. links for pages and posts which we have deleted from our website and added 301 on them?

Update old article or publish new content and redirect old post?
Hi all, I'm targetting a keyword and we used to rank quite good for it. Last couple of months traffic of that keyword (and variations) is going down a bit. I wrote an extensive new post on the same topic, much more in dept and from 600 to 1800 words covering the same topic. Is it better to update the old article and mention that it's updated recently, or publish a new post and redirect the old post to the new post?

.htaccess redirect chains
At item 4 in the post at http://moz.com/blog/htaccess-file-snippets-for-seos the author recommends combining .htaccess redirects to avoid chaining redirects. I'd be obliged if someone could expand on: 1. What he means by chained redirects 2. How to combine the redirects per his recommendation Cheers.

Should I redirect mobile traffic to a different url? Will it hurt SEO?
I'm working on a site that has lots of great content and ranks well but essentially the money is generated by affiliate links. I don't have a mobile version of the site but the company I'm affiliated with does offer a mobile redirect to their domain. Will redirecting mobile traffic to a different url hurt my SEO? I think the user will get a better experience by landing on a mobile page but I don't know if google will see it like that. Any thoughts?

301 Redirect to mobile site effecting rankings
On my site I redirect users when on a mobile device to be redirected to my mobile version of my site. In the last couple weeks I added that redirect in my htaccess file. I just realized today that I am doing a 301 redirect. In the last few weeks my ranking have gotten lower. I am starting to think that because of the redirect my mobile site is not as optimized as my regular site and therefor is effecting my rankings. My question is how can I redirect my users to my mobile site but not use a 301 AND how do I get google to use my main site content for ranking on the mobile side. I want to go back to getting my search rankings on the mobile side using my main sites content. Can I simply remove the 301 on the redirect? Hope that makes sense.

301 redirect results in plummeting DA. Why?
I redirected from my .co.uk site to my .com site (www.salesandinternetmarketing) and my Domain Authority has gone from 44 to 33!? Also SEO Moz states that it's crawled all my pages, yet isn't showing any on page reports, inculding keyword usage, meta descriptions, etc. I'm very confused and not receiving clear answers from the support team (they've said one of the reasons is that my keywords are not ranked in the top 50, well some are, nevertheless I should still be getting some report info shouldn't I)? Can someone please help, I'm rather fed up as this has been going on a for a couple of weeks now

Redirecting to a keyword-rich domain URL
It's best practice to choose a domain that has keyword in it. But if someone has just launched a website and the domain name does not have keyword, is it better to purchase a new domain name that has a keyword in the name and redirect existing domain to the new domain? Will that help SEO? (This just launched website does not have any traffic or links yet.)
