302 redirected links not found
-
There are so many 302 redirected links you found among which most are for the pages which needs users to login to view the pages so redirection to login page is unavoidable. For example: https://www.stopwobble.com/wishlist/index/add/product/98199/form_key/QE0kEzOF2yO3DTtt/
Also we don't have product compare functionlity, but still there are so many links from compare page which redirects to respective category page. For exammple: http://www.stopwobble.com/catalog/product_compare/add/product/98199/uenc/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5zdG9wd29iYmxlLmNvbS93b2JibGUtd2VkZ2Vz/form_key/QE0kEzOF2yO3DTtt/
We need to know from where Moz crawler is detecting these links so that we can supress them from being crawled. I already tries to review overall site and confirmed these links nowhere exists in page source or in sitemap.xml

I checked your site with Screaming Frog - the issue with the product compare is solved. There is still a problem with the wishlist.
Example http://www.stopwobble.com/wobble-wedge-white-hard-300-wedges.html - if you look at the source there are links to https://www.stopwobble.com/wishlist/index/add/product/81170/form_key/XdNIJWsLMTHVFpVh/ which still give 302
You should also correct links of type http://www.stopwobble.com/sales/order/history/ in your HTML
Don't forget that Moz Crawl is only once a week - so the errors will only disappear next crawl.

Hi,
According to your suggestions, we removed both the compare and wishlist links, but they are still showing in the crawler results. You can check our Home page source code, you see there is no such link present. We need to know from where Moz crawler is detecting these links.
Crawler show so many links in result,
Some example of links which are listed in crawler test result :
https://www.stopwobble.com/wishlist/index/add/product/14863/form_key/bQsMmVLP9zouZbKc

Hi there
So, I would download ScreamingFrog first off, as it will give you a rundown of if these issues are internal links or sitemap issues.
It looks like the issues you are facing are internal link issues, meaning they are being picked up on your website in the menu or content. I would go through those and make sure they are updated to the correct URL. Most of theses seem to be buttons or links with the anchor text "Add to Compare". If that functionality is no longer on the site, I would remove it as soon as possible.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hi,
While these links may not be visible on the page itself - they do exist in the HTML.
Just take a look at the source code of your homepage & search for the word 'compare' and you'll find links like this:
- class="separator">|<a <span="" class="html-tag">href</a><a <span="" class="html-tag">="</a>http://www.stopwobble.com/catalog/product_compare/add/product/98500/uenc/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5zdG9wd29iYmxlLmNvbS8,/form_key/Vw93RYTNzbI4GGns/" class="link-compare">Add to Compare
which will be followed by bots.
You could put a "nofollow" on these links (probably the easiest solution), block /product_compare using robots.txt - or use javascript to insert the links only when users are logged in.
rgds,
Dirk

302 redirects in Magento, trying to fix
Hi all, I'm assigned a site in Magento. After the first craw, we found almost 15k 302 redirects. A sample URL ends with this /stores/store/switch/?SID=qdq9mf1u6afgodo1vtvk0ucdpb&___from_store=default&___store=german&uenc=aHR0cHM6Ly9qdWljeWZsdXRlcy5jb20vP19fX3N0b3JlPWdlcm1hbg%2C%2C And they are currently 302 redirecting to the homepage as well as other main pages and also product pages it seems. Some of these point to account pages where customers log in. Probably best for me to de-index those so no issues there. But I'm worried about the 302 redirects to public pages. The extension we have installed is SEO Suite Ultimate by MageWorx. Does anyone here have experience here specifically and how did you fix it? Thanks, JC

Can you regain any SERPs / link juice of links that have 404'd?
We have a client whose 301 redirects disappeared and have been gone for about 6 months now. We are going to be putting the 301 redirects back in place. Will we be able to regain any of the previous SERPs or link juice from old links or is all lost? Thanks in advance!

Linking Root Domains after Site-Wide Redirect
(Edited for simplicity) Page #1 on site A has links from 5 different root domains. If I 301 that page to a page on site B that has zero links, will site B gain 5 linking root domains, per the Moz tool? Thanks.

What to do with a 302 redirect after a while
Hi guys, A client of ours has a website with a very bad linkprofile. We adressed this issue and we migrated the website to another domain. We redirected the bad website (cornelisbedding.be) to the new domain (cornelisbedding.com) with a 302 redirect. We didn't want to pass the bad link juice. The problem we are having now is that we can't afford to lose the redirect on cornelisbedding.be. We would lose to much traffic because the old domain still has alot of links that generate good quality traffic. I have read that Google will treat 302 redirects as 301's in the long run. We really want to avoid this.

We were thinking of using a meta refresh with a delay on, but in Google's eyes that would be considered spammy. Are their any other suggestions on how to handle this? Thanks you!0 -

Bad link profile?
Hi Mozzers! We have recently been handed this client due to the former SEO company building up a bad link profile, which resulted in the site dropping off the search results all together. Forcing them to get a new domain. This happened in July last year and we are unsure whether it would be wise to submit a reconsideration request and then 301 their old sites pages to the new domain. Basically I'm asking whether you can spot any spammy links being built in their profile. Here is the old domain: http://www.claimssolicitors.co.uk/ It would be great if you could help me out! 🙂 Thanks

301 from a Link Directory
Hey guys. I am more looking for advice to confirm something on this one if anyone could offer help? My client has a reciprocal only link directory that is actually ranking higher than their company website. Surely from an SEO point of view, in this instance, it would make sense to kill the link directory and put a re-direct on the whole thing over to their main site? Would appreciate any advice on this one 🙂
