I'm pretty sure that anywhere redirect_to is used in it sends a 302 redirect by default. You can also specify other redirect status codes in the options. > Any thoughts on the use of actions catching keywords to serve the > right page, and the impact of the resulting 302 on SEO? I don't know the impact on SEO, however 302 - Found status codes are very common on the web so I would expect Google's engine to be smart enough to deal with them. I'm not the right person to ask though. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
