Is this 302 re-direct on Magento a problem?
-
The SEOmoz crawler has pointed out this warning on my Magento store..
redirects to
http://www.mydomain.co.uk
Is this a problem? My site is new, so don't want to get penalised this early on! Any advice appreciated.

I read just recently on tehBing blog, that Bing will treat a 302 that has been in place for a long time as a 301, and visa versa, if a 301 keeps changing they will trat it as a 302
But I have no idea if Google does anything like this.

Yeah, that's a problem. That means if people put links to http://mydomain.co.uk, they won't be passing their link juice on to http://www.mydomain.co.uk if the redirect is a 302 (temporary) redirect. You should configure this to be a 301 (permanent) redirect.

302 redirects in Magento, trying to fix
Hi all, I'm assigned a site in Magento. After the first craw, we found almost 15k 302 redirects. A sample URL ends with this /stores/store/switch/?SID=qdq9mf1u6afgodo1vtvk0ucdpb&___from_store=default&___store=german&uenc=aHR0cHM6Ly9qdWljeWZsdXRlcy5jb20vP19fX3N0b3JlPWdlcm1hbg%2C%2C And they are currently 302 redirecting to the homepage as well as other main pages and also product pages it seems. Some of these point to account pages where customers log in. Probably best for me to de-index those so no issues there. But I'm worried about the 302 redirects to public pages. The extension we have installed is SEO Suite Ultimate by MageWorx. Does anyone here have experience here specifically and how did you fix it? Thanks, JC

I have a problem with an SEM Rush warning on a website audit, for www.enjoyprepaid.com.

When testing the on page report I'm having a few problems
First of all, is this test checking my seo optimization over the whole website or just over one site: Ie. when I type in www.joelolson.ca...is it also checking sites like www.joelolson.ca/realtorresources... Secondly. I have found that it won't find specific websites on my page and says they can't be found when clearly they exist

Trailing Slash Problems
Link juice being split between trailing slash and non versions. ie. ldnwicklesscandles.com/scentsy-uk and ldnwicklesscandles.com/scentsy-uk/ Initially asked in here and was told to do a rewrite in the htaccess file. I don't have access to this with squarespace, nor can I add canonical tags on a page by page basis. 301 redirect from scentsy-uk to scentsy-uk/ didn't work either...said that the redirect wasn't completing in an error message on the browser. Squarespace hasn't been very helpful at all. My question is....is there another way to fix this? or should I just call it a day with squarespace and move to wordpress?

Problems with my Site? (If you have time take a look :P thanks)
Hey! If anyone has a moment I would really appreciate any tips or problems you see about our website. I don't expect much but would appreciate any suggestions and such. We are working on back linking and content generation but I know that may not be much use if the website itself is not built well enough! Thank you to anyone who takes a moment of their time to take a look! Site: http://earthsaverequipment.com I am more interested in SEO issues or suggestions not comments that you dislike my artwork 😛 haha Cheers Charles

Joomla problem, title tag too long
Another problem SEOMOZ reported is that my title tags are too long. However, when I type in the title and the description for a particular page on Joomla, the description later appears not only as the meta description, but as part of the page title as well, thus the title appears to be too long. I have no idea how to seperate those two. Anyone?

Problem of printer friendly version.
For one of our client's side, most of the backlinks are going to printer friendly version page. I recommeded to him to use the canonical tag on printer friendly version pointing to other page. Luckily, while searching i came across this posts at - http://www.seomoz.org/q/solving-printer-friendly-version The solution recommended was this - <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="print" href="our-print-version.css"> My questions are - 1. what should i write in place of our-print-version.css Should it be print.css ? 2. Where do i place this code ? in which file ?
