Hello,

is is right, that the seo-mod redirects as an 302? And yes, why not 301?

AND: could it be, that the mods increases the traffic (hits) (dramatically)?

Stats taken by awstats for debian:



Since i use the mod, my traffic (hits) is at a minimum of 4 times higher ...

Well no, the zero dupe does use HTTP 1.1 301 headers : http://www.bulldogboard.eu/ducplicate-t5596.html :

HTTP Status Code: HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Location: http://www.bulldogboard.eu/geschichte-h ... t5596.html

So these 302 must come from elsewhere. You should investigate a bit to find out where because it's potentially a problem for SEO. It's no big deal if these are for example url to private forums and topics (a 302 is then used to redirect to login, which is an appropriate use), but it could be a big pain if it was for example from a redirection from an old domain name or things like that.

About the overall raise in stats, if you just migrated to the rewritten url it's normal, for few days, bots crawl like crazy when this occurs, just like if they needed to be really sure about the new locations, and then, it usually goes back to normal crawl rate few days after.

If so, only this could explain most of the increase in stats, even though of course, that's what you get while doing some SEO more visitors, but it's a bit longer run than few days after a migration.

Well, after some investigations it seems to be that a missing favicon.ico causes the problem.

I installed one and what happens? No more 302

Now this one is really interesting

Yes, yes!

I'm still investigating but this is the only change i made.

A little bit mystic is, that no 404 is shown in the serverlogs - not for the favicon.ico. But the log shows that every time a page from the board was called, the favicon was called and throws a 302 3 times!

Is it a windows server ?
