Looking for SEO Help- Magento Temporary Redirects
-
We recently launched a new site (www.CanyonOS.com) on Magento Enterprise. We have run several crawl tests with Moz and keep receiving 302 redirect errors. We've used the admin console for our site to apply 301 redirects in every area that we could but have had no success. (Last audit was completed on August 14)
We are receiving 301 redirects on the following types of pages totaling 43k issues
A majority of these issues are when adding and comparing products to the following types of urls.
- domain.com**/catalog/**product_compare/
- domain.com**/wishlist/**index/add/product/
- domain.com**/checkout/**cart/add/
Any suggestions from any SEO gurus?
Best,

Did anyone ever come up with an answer? The site is set for 301 Redirects but Moz show hundreds of 302s.. mostly Wishlist and compare related (Magento version 1.9.2)

First and foremost, I appreciate your prompt response and help.
I am unable to locate the URL Rewrite Management. Which admin console were you in? The only available SEO options in our admin console related to permanent redirects under Catalog are following options
Catalog > Search Engine Optimizations > Create Permanent Redirect for URLS if URL Key is Changed (setting is Yes).
-
I've had a quick look at the module admin demo if you go to catalog > URL Rewrite Management > search for a page thats showing as a 302 > click edit > ensure the redirect field is set to 'Permanent (301)' that should do it. Let me know if you can see this open under catalogue.
Ps if you've already done this i'd submit a ticket to developer or look for a new module

We are currently using MageWorx SEO Ultimate Magento Exentsion. We have applied all 301 permanent redirects in both the extension and the main admin console settings.
Could the issue be due to improper indexing? Feel free to email me directly at bpatrick@canyonos.com. Once we determine a resolution i would be more than glad to repost with the solution we find.
Thank you,

I need more info, what is handling the redirects within the admin console? Also if whatever you're using is creating 302's instead of 301's see if it can be changed from within the module or try look for an alternative module that does it out of the box (simplest method). The only other way I know to fix this is the hard way which is going into the htaccess document of the server manually and putting the URL's either one by one or using a wildcard redirect (if URL structure is similar i.e. OLD: domain.com/test/bob1.html | NEW: domain.com/new/bob1.html.
Firstly get a full list of 302 redirected URL's and form an excel spreadsheet, either do the redirects myself quickly or pay a cheap freelancer. Cost to website if you don't find a fix will be detrimental to rankings. The longer its left the harder it'll be to get link juice back.

Magento 1.9 SEO. I have product pages with identical On Page SEO score in the 90's. Some pull up Google page 1 some won't pull up at all. I am searching for the exact title on that page.
I have a website built on Magento 1.9. There are approximately 290,000 part numbers on the site. I am sampling Google SERP results. About 20% of the keywords show up on page 1 position 5 thru 10. 80% don't show up at all. When I do a MOZ page score I get high 80's to 90's. A page score of 89 on one part # may show up on page one, An identical page score on a different part # can't be found on Google. I am searching for the exact part # in the page title. Any thoughts on what may be going on? This seems to me like a Magento SEO issue.

SEO impact difference between a URL Rewrite and 301 redirect
Hi guys and girls! Just putting a new site live, we changed the URL from one thing to another and I created a 301 file redirecting the urls like for like. The developer installing it has created a different file with columns like: RewriteRule ^page/ http://www.site/page [R=301,L] RewriteRule ^/page/ http://www.site/page [R=301,L] What's the difference? The page redirects but is there a difference between the 301 redirect and this URL rewrite in terms of SEO and link value?

SEO and former site
Hi, my client had a site built and hosted with Avvo but we now shut it down and are using a new server. My concern is that Avvo's internal link structure is causing SEO issues. For example, his site will list for "San Diego Criminal Defense Attorney", but is then removed for no reason. Far worse, while he had the AVVO site, it would never rank at all on Google. He's got great content, and no spammy links. This is the site: www.thesandiegocriminallawyer.com. Any thoughts of what I could do to disavow the AVVO pages that Google still has indexed? Does it matter? Or, is it simply a function of time? Thank you for your help.

After the 301 redirect
Hi all, A quick question, after you have setup your 301 re-directs in .htaccess - is it necessary to keep your content in the original domains directory? My thinking is that requests do get as far as referencing the directory, thus it should be safe to delete all the files on the old domain? Thanx!

301 Redirect shenanigans.
So our website (www.FrontlineMobility.com) Has a canonical link redirect to the non www. version. However when I put in website.com it comes up with a small list of links and says this site links to www.website.com. So I'm curious if I used to wrong canonical linking method( that is the method I tried and I placed it in the Head Tags.) I greatly appreciate any assistance in this matter ^.^
