Search engines swear at 301 redirects

Glad you like the plugin!

Yes, any page that has a “buy” button will have a redirect link. Maybe your SEO tool thinks that is bad. I’m not an SEO guy so I can’t say if it is something to worry about or not.

Maybe you could disable the “buy” button on your category pages? I’m not sure if that will help.

@datafeedrcom,
I will try to explain to you) Since I am convinced that this is currently a necessity for search engines. When the search engine analyzes the page, it realizes that this is not a full page, but just a seal and lowers the position in the search results.
For example, I will give a site that implements the correct approach (https://shopsy.ru/). There is the same principle, when you click, you go to the page of the partner site. But search engines for some reason do not see that this is a 301 redirect.
I would like your plugin to have such an opportunity. It would be priceless)) Or is it somehow possible to implement it now?

I guess you are referring to an interstitial page. This plugin won’t handle that but we do have docs on how to implement yourself: https://datafeedrapi.helpscoutdocs.com/article/167-create-an-exit-or-redirect-page

You’ll have to customize to fit your needs and data.

@datafeedrcom,

I think you understood me correctly and directed me to find the right solution)

I did everything as in the proposed article. But nothing works, because I don’t know the code well and can’t correct it for my site.

But still, I want to thank you! You tried to help me solve my problem.

As a token of gratitude, I will write a good review for your plugin, as it really does a great job. Despite the fact that my problem is not solved, thank you again!

@ilyapokrov Sorry it didn’t work for you. Thank you for such a nice review!

@datafeedrcom,

I want to ask you one more question. Maybe you can tell me.

I will give as an example another site similar to mine:
https://lagarderob.ru/Men-Armeiskie-Botinki/
This site has the same principle. When you click on a product, a redirect to the vendor’s website occurs. But search engines do not determine that this is a 301 redirect. And this site has no intermediate page.

How do you achieve the same result?

If you look through the inspector, then my link looks like this:
href = "https://site.com / tovar / 11836 /"
Whereas the above site has links like this:
href = "/ p / 18962816 /? view = 5fd309347cfbe & src = image"

To be honest, I really don’t know. In theory, those links seem the same to me.

Did you ask SiteChecker about this? I wonder what they would say…

@datafeedrcom,
By the way, I noticed another flaw.

I have updated my catalogs and when I click on a product, there is no transition. For a long time I was trying to figure out what it was connected with, but I still did not understand.

The problem is the following – the browser reports that the page is not available because the site has redirected too many times. I checked the .htaccess file – it contains everything according to the instructions, nothing more.

Strange, but some products from the catalog go to the partner store.

I noticed that in the product cards, with which everything is ok, a normal affiliate long link is indicated. And in the product cards of non-working products, the link has been replaced with a short one, which is prescribed by your plugin.

bertal.ru shows this:

HTTP / 1.1 302 Found

We managed to fix the problem by disabling the plugin and updating all URLs on affiliate products.

That’s strange. I have not heard of that and we have a lot of customers using this plugin. I’m glad disabling it resolved it but not sure why it wasn’t working for you in the first place.
