    I believe my recent drop from the google serps might have been caused by these 302 redirect errors I've been getting. The thing is I don't have any 302 redirects programmed in my htaccess file. So I don't know where these 302 redirects are coming from. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Very vague question. What kinds of errors are they?

    302 errors in my stats. It means for some reason I have a lot of 302 redirects the problem is I don't have any 302 redirects built in my .htaccess file. So I'm trying to find where the 302's are coming from

    You have to check in your data base, once your have click on that page then comes on 302 error page.

    Have a search through your web server raw access logs, you should be able to locate them there.

    It's probably a script that you are using that's generating them.

    Thanks I'll try looking for them later. I believe the 302's might be the cause of my dissappearance from google serps.

    I agree with vagrant. 302s are usually in the code somewhere.

    The easiest way to find them is to download your server logs and search for "302". There should be a URL for a page request associated with it.

    OK I've downloaded my raw server stats. Here's an example of just one of the 302's I found

    [13/Jul/2008:17:48:29 -0600] "GET /test/item/Girls-Swimwear-Swimsuit-Pink-Candy-Stripe-4T-4-NWOT_W0QQitemZ170210744837 HTTP/1.0" 302 726 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Yahoo! Slurp; http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/slurp)"

    Does this code show a 302 redirect.

    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Can you give us your site? and if you know your some item will redirect to ebay auction, then how can you not know it using 301 or 302?

    My site is an affiliate for ebay, but the links on the site shouldn't be a 302 redirect. It should be just a direct link to the auction. the site is http://www.thefashionablekid.com
