302 redirect (temporary redirect)

[Shanaki]

Hello guys,

I have a stupid problem, i guess you solved long time ago.

After i crawl my website, i found out that i have 8k temporary redirect (302 redirect). All of them came from www.domain.com/enable-cookies, there are 8 k of this type.

I guess i am not first one with magento having this problem. Could you explain what happen in fact?

And more than that could you explain how to fix it? I bet people will find this thread important i will not be the last one with this problem

Thank you in advance.

With Respect,

Andrei

Do you control the domain these 302's are coming from?

Hello,

Thanks for reply.

I think i am explain badly.

My problem is that SeoMoz, give me around  8 k bad link, that links are internal.

This kind of link:

http://wo-men.ro/barbati/catalog/product_compare/add/product/100/uenc/aHR0cDovL3dvLW1lbi5yby9iYXJiYXRpL2JyYXRhcmktcGllbGUtYmFyYmF0aS5odG1s/

That add something to compare, add something in bag, that are cookies links, and i don`t know how to make them not to appear anymore or to make a 301 redirect somehow.

Thanks for reply again.

It´s a magento "please enable" feature, that seems to have a unwanted side effect for crawlers like seomoz.

You find the setup in admin -> general -> web

Default is to redirect the visitor (without cookies enabled)  to the default page called "Enable Cookies" set in. The cookie is needed for the cart module:

Default Pages

CMS No Cookies Page = Enable Cookies.

You can disable this with the setting: "NO" redirect in the bottom of admin -> general -> web and substitute it with a "YES" to show the notice alert on the top of the page to non cookie visitors.

Browser Capabilities Detection

<fieldset id="web_browser_capabilities" class="config collapseable">

Redirect to CMS-page if Cookies are Disabled -> No 
Show Notice if JavaScript is Disabled -> Yes

</fieldset>

This should fix the 302 redirects!!

Already did, your suggestion i found on google too, thank you very much for confirming, but the strange thing is that nothing change SeoMoz said.

Thank you again.

SEOMoz does not crawl the web and return reports in real time. You may have to wait for the Mozscape index to refresh.

Hey, anyone remember when Google used to "dance" like that? Fun stuff. Popcorn-eating entertainment back then.

Hello Shanaki,

I checked the http header response code for that URL and it returns a 301 redirect status code. In other words, the setting recommended above did work, but perhaps the SEOMoz crawler hasn't seen it yet.
