302 redirected links not found

[torbett]

There are so many 302 redirected links you found among which most are for the pages which needs users to login to view the pages so redirection to login page is unavoidable. For example: https://www.stopwobble.com/wishlist/index/add/product/98199/form_key/QE0kEzOF2yO3DTtt/

Also we don't have product compare functionlity, but still there are so many links from compare page which redirects to respective category page. For exammple: http://www.stopwobble.com/catalog/product_compare/add/product/98199/uenc/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5zdG9wd29iYmxlLmNvbS93b2JibGUtd2VkZ2Vz/form_key/QE0kEzOF2yO3DTtt/

We need to know from where Moz crawler is detecting these links so that we can supress them from being crawled. I already tries to review overall site and confirmed these links nowhere exists in page source or in sitemap.xml

Hi,

While these links may not be visible on the page itself - they do exist in the HTML.

Just take a look at the source code of your homepage & search for the word 'compare' and you'll find links like this:

• class="separator">|<a <span="" class="html-tag">href</a><a <span="" class="html-tag">="</a>http://www.stopwobble.com/catalog/product_compare/add/product/98500/uenc/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5zdG9wd29iYmxlLmNvbS8,/form_key/Vw93RYTNzbI4GGns/" class="link-compare">Add to Compare

which will be followed by bots.

You could put a "nofollow" on these links (probably the easiest solution), block /product_compare using robots.txt - or use javascript to insert the links only when users are logged in.

rgds,

Hi there

So, I would download ScreamingFrog first off, as it will give you a rundown of if these issues are internal links or sitemap issues.

It looks like the issues you are facing are internal link issues, meaning they are being picked up on your website in the menu or content. I would go through those and make sure they are updated to the correct URL. Most of theses seem to be buttons or links with the anchor text "Add to Compare". If that functionality is no longer on the site, I would remove it as soon as possible.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hi,

According to your suggestions, we removed both the compare and wishlist links, but they are still showing in the crawler results. You can check our Home page source code, you see there is no such link present.  We need to know from where Moz crawler is detecting these links.

Crawler show so many links in result,

Some example of links which are listed in crawler test result :

http://www.stopwobble.com/catalog/product_compare/add/product/98199/uenc/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5zdG9wd29iYmxlLmNvbS93b2JibGUtd2VkZ2Vz/form_key/QE0kEzOF2yO3DTtt/

I checked your site with Screaming Frog - the issue with the product compare is solved. There is still a problem with the wishlist.

Example http://www.stopwobble.com/wobble-wedge-white-hard-300-wedges.html  - if you look at the source there are links to https://www.stopwobble.com/wishlist/index/add/product/81170/form_key/XdNIJWsLMTHVFpVh/ which still give 302

You should also correct links of type http://www.stopwobble.com/sales/order/history/ in your HTML

Don't forget that Moz Crawl is only once a week - so the errors will only disappear next crawl.

rgds,

Dirk
