Thanks for your answers, I'll recommend to the client that we switch those old redirects to 301s.

Worth Changing Redirect From 302 to 301?posted in Technical SEO
Hi,
I'm doing an audit on a site that had a redesign in Dec 2009. For some reason I looked to see what kind of redirects were used from the old pages to the current ones, and it looks like they used 302s, which obviously isn't ideal. Given that it's been so long and those pages have looong since been de-indexed, is it worth me suggesting that they change those old redirects to 301s? My thinking is that if those old pages were linked to externally then I should recommend it, but I can't find any link info on Linkscape/OSE, Majestic SEO or YSE.
Any comments appreciated.
