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

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.

After 301 redirection non-English keyword points to English language pages
We had multilingual website on .co.uk domain and somewhere in April, we've done 301 redirection from domain1.co.uk pages which were in Polish language to domain2.com/pl domain and now for some Polish keywords Google SERP sometimes shows English pages (.com) and sometimes polish pages (.com/pl). Previously co.uk/en had English content and that got redirected to .com. What could be the reason? Thank you for all responses.

Redirect question
Hi Everyone I've tried searching elsewhere in these forums for an answer to this but not having much luck - hope I'm not duplicating content! I get this message in Moz: "We have detected that the domain NappyValleyNet.com redirects to www.nappyvalleynet.com. We do not recommend tracking a redirect URL. Would you like to track www.nappyvalleynet.com for this campaign instead?" Is this a set-up issue on my side? I'm not sure what this means? Thank you!

Redirecting a Parked Domain
A client's friend has had a parked domain for over 11 years. He has done nothing with it but throw a couple of ads on it. It has some traffic, most likely from typos: the domain domain is somewhat similar to a leading search engine. But the parked domain has no content, no links, no DA. I can't see the benefit of the redirect. My client might get a little traffic -- but the parked domain has nothing to do with his niche. Am I missing something? Is there any risk involved in the redirect (beyond unqualified traffic that isn't valuable?)

Quick Question on Redirects
This might be a silly question, but one important enough for me to ensure that I understand the best practice of URL redirects... I'm thinking of changing my URL's and hierachy of some of my WP subpages around, in order to logically fit the keyword into the url and place the subpage closer to the root domain. My question is, when doing this, can I simply edit the URL and create a redirect after the fact, essentially killing the old URL. Or, do I create the new page with the updated URL and hierarchy, keeping the old page live and intact, but have that 301 redirect to its new corresponding destination? Thanks

301 redirect OK for a newer version of a page that is a different url?
I have about 500 products with multiple urls for the same product, but different versions. I sell wine and have a different page for each vintage. I've decided that is not the best way to go, and want to point the older vintage pages to the latest version page, and make that the only page for the product as time goes on. Do I have to put a link in the text from each older page to the newer, or can I use a 301 to redirect them to the new page? I don't want google to think I'm pulling something funny.
