: Does it matter for SEO that my sites uses http 302 instead of 301 for redirects Just found out that my administrator has set all redirects to temporary 302 instead of 301 i.e main site http://example.com

@Chiappetta492

If the redirects are temporal, this is fine. If the old domain should be disregarded and the new domain should be used, this is bad.

As long as there's 302, the bots will periodically check the first domain and keep those in the results. If you 301 them, you tell them "forgot old url, only use new url". This last part is not happening now.
