302 to 301
-
Hello,
We have a temporary redirect (302?) from http url to https url. Seomoz has suggested that we change the 302 temporary redirect to a permanent 301 redirect.
Sounds good.... but how do we do that?!
Appreciate any and all feedback!

Coming in late on this thread. There's actually muliple ways to redirect from http to https, depending on your server configuration and so on. It's very possible your developer did set this up in the .htaccess file. If a 301 isn't defined (or none is defined) I believe it can default to a 302.
I see Sanket has volunteered his help. Yay! Let us know what you find or if you need any help.

Can you PM me your httaccess code ? And your website URL ?
-
I found the .htaccess file. Inside I can find several places where there is a redirect to use WWW., or not. But I can't find the place where it says redirect http to https. What sort of text might it say?
Thanks!

It should be on root folder or in "public html" folder.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the reply. Actually, the original site developer made the 302 redirect. I found the httaccess file, but I can't see how to change the 302. I found several instances in the file where 301 is mentioned, but so far I can't find a reference to 302. Any idea what I should be looking for?
-
May I know which platform are you using ? And how you have done 302 redirect ?
If you have done it through httaccess file then KLLC is right, just replace 301 in place of 302.

Hello,
Its pretty simple by replacing 302 to 301, as you already have 302 redirect from HTTP to HTTPS. If you have done it with .htaccess just edit the file and just replace 302 with 301.

Hi everyone, Recently I have faced a crawl issue with my media images on website. For example this page url https://intreface.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Horion-screen-side-2.png has 302 HTTP Status and the recommendation is to change it 301. I have read the article on temporary redirections here:
https://moz.com/learn/seo/redirection?_ga=2.45324708.1293586627.1702571936-916254120.1702571936
but its not written here how to redirect in my HTML 1 image url not the landing page.

301 Re-direct help
Hello Mozzers, I have a technical question that perhaps someone has experience with and can help with. I currently have 2 e-commerce websites: SITE-A.COM (original site) & SITE-B.COM (new site) SITE-B.COM is the newer site that has a lot of new products and new features and great content and is very user friendly. We are thinking about funneling all of our visitors and traffic to SITE-B.com since it is the better experience for the users ... the question is this: If we want to 301 redirect all traffic from Site-A.com to Site-B.com ... where do we initiate those redirect requests? Would it be on the server for Site-A.com? If so, would i have to keep that server up and running forever if i don't want to lose the re-directs? Also, how do i do this properly without violating Google's guidelines? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

HTacess 301 redirect with special characters
Hello moz community ! I would to make a special 301 redirection through my htaccess file. I am a total noob concerning regexp and 301 redirection. I would like to redirect(301) this url : http://www.legipermis.com/stages-points/">http://www.legipermis.com/stages-points/</a></p>; yes yes it's in the index of google, this strange url includes the last ; to http://www.legipermis.com/stages-points/ I have already include a canonical tag by security, i would like to remove url with a 301 redirection and by remove this url through GWT (but the removal tool can't "eat' this kind of URL) Please consider the fact that i am not an expert about 301 redirections and regexps. No 301 redirect generator works properly for such a strange URL (which triggers content duplication corrected anyway with canonical tag). Thanks for your help.

Can You 301 Unwanted Links to Another Site?
I am trying to clean up my link profile, and have noticed that a I have a lot of crappy inbound links linking to some of my old pages. And those old pages have since been 301'ed to current pages. My question is, is it worth trying to 301 those old pages, and thus those crappy links, to another website? Would this do anything to clean up my link profile?
