      i have over 2,000 temporary redirects in my campaign report

      redirects are mostly events like being redirected to a login page before showing the actual data

      im thinking of adding nofollow on the link so moz wont crawl the redirection to reduce the notification

      will this solve my problem?

        Hey Oscar,

        Yes, Moz will not crawl nofollowed links, so this should solve your problem.

        Cheers,

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