      301 redirects are clearly preferable to 302 redirects for pages that need to be indexed by search engines.

      If I have 302 redirects to minor pages not getting much traffic regardless of the code, how important (if at all) is changing the redirects to 301?

      Thanks!

        If the pages have PR it's worth changing them to 301 because you're throwing away the PR by using 302.

          So does that mean if they don't have PR fixing them should not be a priority?
