supportIt is very strange that such a wonderful plugin has so few downloads! Thank You, this is a very cool product! Now let’s move on to the question and problem)) I activated the plugin, left the 302 redirect and Add Redirect Path to Robots.txt -YES. Everything works and redirects! But if you check the site for the quality of the SEO page on third-party resources, it shows an error everywhere. Allegedly, there are a lot of 301 redirects on my page, which negatively affects the SEO. Can you tell me what to do in this situation to solve this problem? https://look-catalog.ru/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Screenshot_3.jpg The page I need help with: [ log in to see the link]
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 Server: nginx Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2020 17:00:50 GMT Content-Type: text / html; charset = UTF-8 Connection: keep-alive X-Powered-By: PHP / 7.4.12 X-Redirect-By: WordPress Location: https://site.com / tovar / 18725 / Strict-Transport-Security: max-age = 31536000; 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.
