      We have a membership site that has links out in our unprotected pages. If a non-member clicks on these links it sends a 302 redirect to the login / join page.

      Is this an issue for SEO?

      Thanks!

        Ideally these pages would be set to nofollow/noindex, so the 302 redirect is merely a way to avoid a user ending up with a 404 error page. I see no problem with this and can's imagine how it would negatively affect SEO in any way.

        • Ideally should a 301 or 302 redirect be used from https://www.site.com to http://www.site.com? Is there a valid reason to use a 302 in this situation or would using a 301 have any negative impact on seo?

        • If a permanent redirect is supposed to transfer SEO from the old page to the new page, why has my domain authority been impacted?
