Crawl Diagnostic: Notices about 301 redirects
-
There are detected five 301 redirects on my site and I want to understand why this is happening? And is this important to fix?
http://domain.cl/subfolder ---- redirects to ----> http://domain.cl/subfolder/
What does this tell me "/"
I am very curious
Thanks for every answer

It doesn't really matter what you're use, as long as you're consistent and get people to link the right version.

Takeshi, Thanks for the link! I was wondering: Who installed the 301, it was not me, so its a server feature?... Its becuase I have two sites exactly with the same structure, but on different webspaces because of 2 languages and TLDs. On one there is no redirect detected by seomoz ... But on the other. When I use a subfolder e.g. Example.com/services/ each subfolder contains an index.php and I link to it just linking to ...services/ and not to ...services/index.php Hope thats the best practice?

A 301 redirect is basically a way to tell that one page is equivalent to another page.
In Google's eyes, http://domain.cl/subfolder and http://domain.cl/subfolder/ are two different pages. By having the 301 redirect in place, it tells Google that they're both the same page. So no, you don't need to fix anything, it's working as it should be.

Does 301 redirect of old filenames still work?
I have gone through several revisions of my site. We used to have only static pages in HTML. I had search-engine-optimization.html changed to seo-philippines.html changed to /seo-philippines/ I 301 redirected all of them whenever I change the filenames. This is in the course of 6 years worth of link building and I'm wondering if this has an effect because our rankings go down everytime we do this.

Hi, in the last week I take an issue for 301 permanent redirect for a subfolder in the main website! In that folder i have a index.php file for a google map fullscreen edition and the only link who connects the wordpress website with the subfolder is only a direct link!

How do find where a 301 redirect is located
My report says I have http://www.30minuteseder.com/Passover.blog redirected to http://30minuteseder.com/Passover.blog. It is correct, but I can't find where the 301 redirect is located. I looked in my .htaccess file in the root and it's not there. How do I find it so I can change it?

What would happen if 301 redirects were not in place
Good Morning from 14 degrees C sunny Wetherby UK 🙂 My question is please.... "When a new site is given a total makover ie old urls are re written to radically different ones I know if you dont set up 301 redirects the infamous 404 error page will rear its head. But i wonder if 301 redirects were not configured how long on average does it take google to index the new site and serp links finally point to the new site". Thanks in advance 🙂
