Looking for SEO Help- Magento Temporary Redirects

[CanyonOS]

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)

Hey Bryce,

Did Topster's answer fix this for you? Just want to make sure you got this resolved.

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.
