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)

Hey Bryce,

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.

Someone redirected his website to ours
Hi all, I have strange issue as someone redirected website http://bukmachers.pl to ours https://legalnibukmacherzy.pl We don't know exactly what to do with it. I checked backlinks and the website had some links which now redirect to us. I also checked this website on wayback machine and back in 2017 this website had some low quality content but in 2018 they made similar redirection to current one but to different website (our competitor). Can such redirection be harmful for us? Should we do something with this or leave it, as google stop encouraging to disavow low quality links.

Looking for someone to help with a delisted site after a malicious hack
Hello, My website - www.musillawfirm.com was recently hacked and has been de-listed by google. It had some sort of a crypto mining script on it that I was able to remove. It shows up if you type in the domain but even a generic search for "musil law firm" does not show the site - it used to rank # 1 for that term and #1 or 2 for immigration lawyer in my local area. If anyone can assist me in getting it re-indexed please let me know and let me know how much it would cost. I tried getting it re-indexed through the search console, but no luck. Thank you kindly

301 Redirection
Hi there guys, I have a question about redirection. My boss has just bought a new domain name and he wants it to redirect to our current site when looking for specific products. www.example.com is our current website www.productname.com is the new domain So the new domain would be redirected to example.com. Would that be considered against Google Policies? Thanks

Video SEO for Google
I was wondering what the prime factors were to make something rank for a video on Google. Does anyone have any suggestions? I think that length may be important, but I don't know what the ideal run time is. Hypothetically for local SEO, would I be better off doing a tag like "Mercedes Buffalo NY" or do individual tags of "Mercedes" and "Buffalo" Thanks!

Domain Forwarding for SEO
Hey guys, I recently created a new website for a client who was ranking #1 for the term "jupiter obgyn" but they have now dropped down to #4. This happened because their old home page was at www. instead of just jupiterobgyn.com. When you type in the www. version, it does take you to the root domain but it's not carrying the old PA! The www. version of the page had a 22 PA and the new root domain hosted page is a 1. How can I fix it so that "link juice" carries over? Is this something i need to do in 1and1 (their web host) or within Wordpress? Thanks!!!

'Select your country' page leading to high Temporary Redirects
Hello all, I manage an ecommerce website and product prices are shown depending on what country you select. When a user does a product search or lands on a product page, they are immediately redirected to a 'select your country' page. After selecting their option, the user is redirected back to the product or search result page. The problem I face is that, this is leading to a high 'Temporary Redirects' list in my crawl diagnostic page. Looking at the list of temporary redirects, 90% are users being bounced to a 'select your country' page. Any advice to tackle this? Have you guys faced anything similar? Thanks Cyto
