Warning error from SEOMOZ crawler

[juanmiguelcr]

Hi there, the SEOMOZ crawler has detected some warinings related to the 302 temporary redirections. Example:

http://www.tarifakitesurfcamp.com/tks-camp/alojamiento/ redirects to

www.tarifakeitesurfcamp.com/error-404

I have included in the htaccess file some redirections 301 like:

redirect 301 http://www.tarifakitesurfcamp.com/tks-camp/alojamiento/ http://www.tarifakitesurfcamp.com/alojamiento as I changed the URL for SEO beneficts

Does anyone can tell me what's going on?

Thanks all!

Hi Juan,

Well for the specific url you mention something appears to be wrong.

Firstly, the url you refer to http://www.tarifakitesurfcamp.com/alojamiento does not exist (shows the 404 page) so the moz crawler is correctly telling you that it is redirecting there.

Secondly the redirect from the first page is indeed a 302 and not a 301, I check using http://www.internetofficer.com/seo-tool/redirect-check/ and it shows a 302 redirect, so again the crawler is giving you correct information.

What to do? First of all make sure the pages you want to redirect to exist and you have the correct urls for them and then have a look at your htaccess file and make sure there are no errors and test to make sure it is doing what you expect it to be doing.

I think for 301 redirects the first url need to be without the domain name like so:

redirect 301 /tks-camp/alojamiento/ http://www.tarifakitesurfcamp.com/alojamiento

Thats what I use anyway and seems to work.

Hope that helps!
