      I have a Magento ecommerce site that allows customers to compare products.  When SEOmoz crawled the site, it came back with over 6,000 302 redirect errors related to the compare products feature.  Is this harming our rankings? And any suggestions on the best way to fix it?

        Should I fix 302 redirects? 

        Definitely

        Is this harming our rankings?

        Almost certainly

        Without understanding the details involved as to why the redirects were placed and when, it is not possible to definitively offer a correct course of action. Most likely, you simply should change the 302 to 301.

          302 re-directs are a temporary solution. If the re-directs are permanent then change them to 301s
