<cflocation> an OK re-direct for SE's?

Hi,

We use coldfusion on our site and use <cflocation> to re-direct between internal pages (when the structure changes).

My question will SE's view this as OK re-directing or "spammy" re-directing? It certainly isn't the later but want to be safe.

Thanks

 

I'm not sure how that tag reflects with the server. But to be on the safe side, I'd just do 301's to new pages.

 

Yeah..

Any coldfusion guru's know what type of re-direct <cflocation> is translated into?

 

Ahhhh <cflocation> turns into a 302 re-direct... This is what I have been using on my site to re-direct users to the new location of the files (after re-organising the directory structure). Will SE's class this as SPAMMY? I feel my site is being penalised, I suppose this could be why?!

Ya, it probably is. 302's are used for temporary redirects.

Curious though, how often are you changing the structure? You shouldn't be changing it too often, or you'll never give the SE's a chance to catch-up with the redirects your giving them.

 

Darn... I need to go though and change about 300+ re-directs...

No only changed once or twice in 3 years...
