Our SEO person asked if I would turn 302 redirects into 301 redirects.  I'm wondering if this will mess anything up in product cart.  Here are a couple of examples of what he would like me to change.  Any input is appreciated.

Example 1: 302 redirect:  http://www.mostlychocolate.com/store/pc/custpref.asp  
make into 301 redirect to: http://www.mostlychocolate.com/store/pc/Checkout.asp?cmode=1

Example 2: 302 redirect: http://www.mostlychocolate.com/store/pc/instPrd.asp?idproduct=1&pSubscriptionID=0  make into 301 redirect to: http://www.mostlychocolate.com/store/pc/viewCart.asp?cs=1

Thanks Again, Stephanie

It makes sense to do a 301 redirect if its a permanent redirect. If you have no plans to remove the redirect then you make it a 301. 301 means permanent redirect. For custpref.asp redirect in your example it is the correct url...  the redirect happens because a customer has to login first before they can view that page... so I wouldn't mess with that... and the instprd.asp redirect happens when adding to cart and it's necessary. I wouldn't mess with any of those.

Don't redirect either page! Your SEO person doesn't seem to understand what those pages are.
