303 Redirects Search Engine Friendly?

[MiguelSalcido]

Do 303 redirects work more like 301s or more like 302s when it comes to passing SEO authority?

This is an older post on it, but still applicable: http://sharkseo.com/nohat/303-redirects-seo/ and is more like a 302. 301 is the standard way to pass along site authority for permanently moved addresses.  See: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/93633, "If you need to change the URL of a page as it is shown in search engine results, we recommend that you use a server-side 301 redirect."  Cheers!

Hi Miguel,

No It doesn't work like 301 when it comes to passing SEO authority. I wouldn't suggest you to use 303. I am sharing an old thread where Thomas Zickell did an experiment and explain very well on 303. To know more please visit below URL.

A bit late to answering but yeah, they are right with the 303. Stick with a 301 for seo purposes.
