Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Moz is showing us that we have a HUGE amount of 302 redirects. These are coming from our community forum.

1. Forum URL: https://www.foodbloggerpro.com/community/
2. Example thread URL: https://www.foodbloggerpro.com/community/viewthread/322/
3. Example URL that points to a specific reply: https://www.foodbloggerpro.com/community/viewreply/1582/
4. The above link 302 redirects to this URL: https://www.foodbloggerpro.com/community/viewthread/322/#1582

My two questions would be:

1. Do you think we should we add rel=nofollow to the specific reply URLs?
2. If possible, should we make those redirects 301 vs. 302?

Screencast attached.

Awesome. Makes total sense.

I've dropped this:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /community/member/

Into our robots.txt file.

Thanks Ray!

Our website's Community Forum links to the membership profile pages, which by default are blocked for non-members.

• https://www.foodbloggerpro.com/community/
• https://www.foodbloggerpro.com/community/member/1301/

We're getting warnings in Moz for duplicate content (and errors) on these member profile pages.

Any ideas for how we can creatively solve this problem? Should we redirect those pages or just beef them up with more content? Just ignore it and assume that search spiders will be smart enough to figure it out?

See attached video for further explanation.
