Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Daniel.  There isn't a good reason anymore, we are moving the site and have a new design. I am thinking that Google is indexing the original URL though since they see the second URL as temporary. Is this incorrect?

Hi Dave,

The current site is .net I believe. We are moving to a Magento site. It's an old site so we're not sure why they have all these 302's, but I am planning on making them all 301's so we can move whatever rank there is.

Wouldn't Google actually be indexing the original URL since these are 302 redirects and they see them as temporary?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Everyone,

I am creating a list of 301 redirects to give to a developer to put into Magento. I used Screaming Frog to crawl the site, but I have noticed that all of their urls 302 to another page. I am wondering if I should 301 the first URL to the url on the new site, or the second. I am thinking the first, but would love some confirmation.

Thank you!

Thanks so much Dirk and Anthony!

Is there an SEO impact to a large corporation linking from a corporate and/or a divisional site to a specific brand site with it's own top level domain? We would like to keep the traffic coming, but not if it will be seen as a black hat tactic. My guess is that Google will be smart enough to see that the corporation owns the brand and at least not penalize us, but I am wondering if anyone else has this experience? Google Analytics is calling it self-referral.
