301 mistake in Google Webmaster Tools?
-
Google webmaster tools has a warning for our site map saying that this url (and a couple of others) have a 301 redirect in them. http://www.aquinasandmore.com/catholic-gifts/Immaculate-Heart-of-Mary-Bookmark/sku/59682
I've checked the link and don't see that it actually is redirecting. Any thoughts on why this is popping up?
-
I can verify the URL as presented does not have any redirect.
Is it possible they are referring to the non-www form of the URL? http://aquinasandmore.com/index.cfm/catholic-gifts/Immaculate-Heart-of-Mary-Bookmark/sku/59682 does properly 301 to the www version of the URL.
If that is not the case, please share screenshots of your Google WMT so we can view what you are seeing.

Nope, it is the www that is getting the message. I've attached the screenshot.

I am not able to locate any reason for this warning. I would suggest inspecting your site's internal linking and inspect any and all links to this page.
I would share there are a couple major concerns regarding this particular URL. Upper case letters should never be used in URLs. Secondly, this URL is duplicated content. You can change the upper case letters to lower case individually and the page still appears and without a redirect. This issue has caused multiple duplicate pages on your site. This issue should be resolved immediately.

It must have been a glitch in Google. They processed our sitemap again last night and there aren't any error messages now.
