liamloveslearning Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Hi all, Im having an error thrown up by google wmt regarding my redirects, On my companies website we have a store, when you click the store button it takes you to a page which tells the user how secure there connection is and then redirects to the shop via JS after 7 seconds. Is there a way to have google follow this? Ive read up on permanant redirects but I dont think thats the thing we need?

JonnoTheDev Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Yes. If you detect the User agent as Googlebot then use a proper 301 redirect header. Not Javascript. Why do you need Google to follow this? Does it need indexing? Do you have a sitemap that Google can follow?

liamloveslearning Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 No I dont want my store indexing, thus it doesnt need following, its just I read somewhere having errors in WMT penalizes you in the search engines results? or am I being naive? thanks for the advice neil Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/191466-google-redirect-errors/#findComment-1009389 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 For redirection you should send a 301, 302, 303 or 307 response code along with the Location header. Redirection using javascript is a hack solution. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/191466-google-redirect-errors/#findComment-1009686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
