      Episode 2 of "Damon the idiot noob" web series . . .

      I have like . . ..90 plus temporary redirects in my moz "medium priority diagnostics".

      But the majority of them have a url, but no redicret url.

      How can it be a temporary redirect if there is no redirect address?

      Some of the addresses simply don't make any sense.  Like:

      http://www.thirdcoastsigns.com/catalog/seo_sitemap/product

      How on earth would a "seo_sitemap" be followed my a "/product"?

      This is a Magento site, so I know some of these things get created automatically . .. but what on earth is going on here?

      Help welcome, appreciated, and welcome.

      Did I mention it is welcome and appreciated?

        First, I got confused, then confused, and confused again.

        Did I mention i got confused? 😄

        This is a Magento site, so I know some of these things get created automatically . .. but what on earth is going on here?

        Magento is a keyword there. Any CMS does some super crazy stuff. Some more crazy than others.

        Or it can be temporary MOZ bug. I'd recommend check those urls manually with preserving log in Chrome or something. This way you'll be able to understand if it's actually happening or it's just crawlers fault. If you don't see anything abnormal happening while checking those urls manually, don't waste much time on it, especially those pages seem not to exist or not main pages of the website.
        As MOZ says, it's medium priority, there are other things to worry about.

        Hope this helps.

            Well, I think Charles may have summed it up, that it is just some CMS wonkiness . . . though I was sorta hoping there was a more concrete answer/solution than that.

            • Should I set blog category/tag pages as "noindex"? If so, how do I prevent "meta noindex" Moz crawl errors for those pages?
