Magento is correct.

200 is the normal response given for a web page. It is the equivalent of you dialing a phone number and the other person answering.

301 is the normal method to redirect a user to a different page. It is the equivalent of call forwarding. Basically you are saying "hey, I know which resource you are looking for, it has moved, let me take you to it."

The two thoughts that come to my mind when thinking of anchor text are:

• what word or phrase would encourage readers to click

• what word or phrase would work best for search engines? What is a user likely to type into google?

You offered the phrase: "See what Cerritos Nissan customers have to say about their experience at this great Orange County Nissan Dealership.

I would suggest something along the lines of: Read feedback from Cerritos Nissan customers regarding their experience at this great Orange County Nissan dealer.

"Feedback from Ceritos Nissan customers" would be a link to your our-experience.htm page. "Orange County Nissan dealer" would be a link to your home page.

It truly depends on how it is coded.

This isn't perfect but a pretty good idea is, go to your page, right-click and choose View Source. Can you see your menu list in the code? If you can, then Google can too. If you can't, then Google may or may not be able to see it, depending on how it is coded.

If you can share a URL of your site or another site with the exact same menu system, I can offer more information.
