HTTP 302 Temporary Redirect

Hello,

My client's website is developed using Coldfusion 8 and Fusebox 5. My client has employed an SEO consultant to look at the website and one of the suggestions the consultant has come back with is:

"The website uses a 302 temporary re-direct command (Server language), if this could be changed to a 301 permanent re-direct as search engines tend to follow 301 commands better and trust them more in general. The words permanent and temporary aren't important it's just search engines follow them a lot easier as well."

I have to admit to not knowing too much about HTTP headers.

Please could someone explain to me what this suggestion means in a bit more detail and whether it is something I can easily implement?

Many thanks in advance for your assistance...

Use of 301 HTTP status is to specify a permanent deletion or change in a URL.

Use <cfheader> tag the following way (both lines required):

<CFHEADER statuscode="301" statustext="Moved Permanently">
<CFHEADER name="Location" value=" http://blog.samplugged.com/">

Not that tricky, is it?

But please note the risk: Most search engine will stop ever trying the current URL. So, it better be a permanent move of document.
