Google Can Treat 308 Redirects As 301 Redirects

Google can treat 308 redirects the equivalent as they treat 301 redirects, says Google’s John Mueller. That’s, indisputably, whenever you occur to in point of fact close redirect the URL to yet every other. John Mueller of Google acknowledged on Twitter “Whilst you exercise it [a 308 redirect] cherish a 301 we’ll treat it as such.”

Whilst you exercise it cherish a 301 we'll treat it as such.

Google Drive uses a 308 redirect as a Resume Incomplete response to show to the client when an incomplete add stalled. So as that would presumably be somewhat a great deal of. However that it is seemingly you’ll also exercise it as a customary redirect.

The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 308 Everlasting Redirect redirect put response code indicates that the resource requested has been definitively moved to the URL given by the Set headers. A browser redirects to this page and engines like google update their links to the resource (in ‘SEO-talk’, it is acknowledged that the ‘link-juice’ is despatched to the new URL).

The request method and the physique is doubtlessly now not altered, whereas 301 would possibly well well maybe incorrectly once shortly be modified to a GET method.
