    I have a website.
    And i see in my WebStats

    302 - Moved temporarily - 556 - 97%

    What is this Error?
    Can it effect SEO Ranking? Or cause problems with Google listing of our website?

    How to remove this error?

    I have the following in my website index .htaccess file

    ErrorDocument 403 /v-web/errdocs/403.html
    ErrorDocument 401 /v-web/errdocs/401.html
    ErrorDocument 500 /v-web/errdocs/500.html
    ErrorDocument 400 /v-web/errdocs/400.html
    ErrorDocument 404 http://mydomain.com


    Thanks Alot.

    A 302 redirect is not an error document, it is a rewrite.
    Go in and take a look at your .htaccess file, assuming you are being hosted on Apache. (don't look at your logs, look at the actual .htaccess file itself)

    You've got something redirected (one page/directory pointing to another different page/directory)

    Once you find your .htaccess file, copy and paste it into notepad and name it access.txt or something like that, then load it to your domain root folder and let me know the address and I'll take a look at it for you.

    If indeed you do have something redirected w/a 302 (a 302 redirect is a temporary redirect) and you want it to be a permanent redirect, then you'll need to write in a 301 redirect.
