      We are doing a 2-phase site redesign (in order to meet a deadline).  An entire section of the site will not be available in the first phase, but will come back in 6 months.   The question is, do we use 301s or 302s for those pages that will be coming back in 6 months?  Is there a time limit on what is considered "temporary"?

      thanks in advance!

        Here is a helpful discussion on the same topic that took place in June 2011 and is still relevant.

        If it doesn't answer your question, just elaborate further below.

        • Hi, we are wanting to test a new version of one particular page on our website. What's the best way to run a test for a week without harming rankings. Do we use a 302 redirect or direct 100% of traffic using a tool like Optimizely?
