      We have many redirects in place - and sometimes 2 in a chain.

      Is there a recommended time you should have a redirect in place?

        1 or 2 redirect chain is fine but in 3 you will loose some link juice.
        here is one tool called https://redirectchecker.com This can help you to get detail redirection chain and its status code.

            How to handle SEO redirection after remove www

            www to non www redirect chain classified website

            Recently our https://bestclassifiedsusa.com free classifieds USA website we move from www to non www format. Now old urls still showing in Google SERP. When click they show 404 error pages due to removed old ads.
            We redirect www to non www version for main domain but still old cache pages affected.
            How to dynamically handle this case, all old www version ads pages auto redirect to relevant category pages?

            Linking to a Resource from a multi-language Page

            outbound links multi language technical seo

            I have a multi-language page where the content is available in several versions (translated). I want to link to a resource that is only available in one English. Is it a good idea to link to this resource from all language versions or should I better include the link only in the English version of my page? In the first scenario for example a Spanisch and a German language version would link to a page in English. Is this ok or could it be considered spam?

Any idea what the problem could be?

            Site Penalized - 301 Redirect Question

            Hello, We have a website that was penalized roughly two years by Google for "Unnatural Links"... We are experiencing a lot of problems with this site, completely unrelated to the penalty or SERPS, and we're debating doing a 301 Re-direct to another site we own that is totally clean and has no "Unnatural Links". If we do a 301 from the penalized site to our alternative website, will there be any cross-contamination?  Will the penalty carry over to our other site? Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks

            302 to 301 redirect

            Our site has quite a few 302 redirects that really ought to be 301's. Our IT department is really busy so the question is, given that the 302's have probably been in place for years, is it worth changing them to 301's now? Thanks

            Redirecting one ecommerce site to another

            Hi I'm planning to redirect one large ecommerce site to another. Here's how I was thinking of doing it: crawl both sites with Xenu and export urls to a CSV match urls where possible, redirecting pages from site A to relevant ones in site B all others will be redirected to site B's home page Now, I'm dealing with thousands of URLs here, so any way to make it easier would be great. Could this mean just redirecting all of Site A's pages to Site B's homepage would be worth it? Or does redirecting relevant pages where possible seem the best idea? Thanks guys!
