HTTP status code 302

[JohnHuynh]

When running Seomoz crawl report, I saw a link site https://www.vietnamvisacorp.com/?req=apply-visa with status code 302 and empty title tag

Is this an error? and what should I do to fix this problem?

Thank you,

A 302 status code is a temporary redirect which, depending on the circumstances, can cause issues with search engine ranks. Here is a great infographic from Dr Pete on status codes and how it effects each user in relation to SEO:

If you would want end users to redirect to that page and NOT search engines, then the current setup is fine. However, if you would want to send search engines, end users AND link equity then you would want to recreate that as a 301. This process normally requires access to your hosting environment as well as some technical knowledge.

Hope this helps - Kyle

Thank you Kyle Chandler,

I think will still use 302, this link is created for the end-user.
