🔍Thoughts on Emerge pp. 22-29

Throughout the chapter, the author describes how God gave Adam the cultural mandate in Genesis 1:28, instructing mankind to develop a social world and harness the natural world. In order to fulfill this mandate properly, we need to act with pure hearts, seeking to please and glorify God in everything. However, our actions become immoral whenever we dismiss God and/or elevate humanity over God. (I feel like this is all too easy to do, especially when we feel like God isn’t near!) This immorality stems from a vain quest for personal worth. People seek fame and fortune, the world’s temporary solutions to our deep-set hunger to be known and to be secure. But God is the only One who can permanently meet these needs. We can find assurance knowing that God has made us each in His own image, which makes us significant and valuable; we can find security in His unconditional love for us.

I really enjoyed reading this chapter from Emerge because the author’s point is very clear: ultimately, we are to create for the purpose of advancing God’s kingdom, not our own. That seems so simple, and yet I think it’s easy to get tripped up, especially when it comes to our quest for personal worth. Especially with today’s social media, we have to make sure we aren’t just creating for “likes” from other people. I think the author is alluding to the fact that our identity and the intended purpose for our work both play a big role in who we create for: either ourselves or God.

Another point that stuck out to me was how when we create to glorify God, our creative endeavors become acts of worship. I just love that reminder, that our creativity manifests itself in worship to God. :)

🔍Thoughts on Genesis 1:28-29

In verse 28, God blesses Adam and Eve. He then tells them to “be fruitful and increase in number,” and to have dominion over the earth. This is known as the cultural mandate. In verse 29 God provides for their needs, giving them every seed-bearing plant and tree to cultivate and eat from. This shows God’s provision and love for His people.

🔍Thoughts on Genesis 2:15

This tells me that work is something that God has given to us, and therefore shouldn’t carry a negative connotation. Also, gardening is a creative process, and that’s what it sounds like Adam is doing here. So God charged Adam and Eve with creative work.

🔍Thoughts on Matthew 28:16-20

Therefore, I believe that we as Jesus’ disciples have another mission. Not only are we supposed to fulfill the cultural mandate (create community with others and subdue the earth), but also the Great Commission (gather disciples for Jesus). Both of these directly affect our creative endeavors. As Christian artists, we must create for the purpose of glorifying God. Our lives and creative thinking (where we find inspiration, the origin of ideas, etc.) should reflect the changes brought by our relationship with Jesus, and thus set us apart from the rest of the world. In everything we do and  create, we should be reflecting Jesus and what it means to follow Him.

🔍Thoughts on “Art as a Valid Christian Activity”

I was really interested in learning more about the problems dualism causes. According to the chapter, a dualistic view divides the world into sacred vs. secular. The extreme anti-secular Christians, especially back in the day, shunned anything that brought a person pleasure; however, this is not biblical! Discriminating against pleasure is a Platonist mindset, not a Christian one. Instead, we need to recognize that Jesus is Lord over every area of life, including that which brings us pleasure (like art!). The dualistic view of the world categorizes most of culture in the secular category. This limited view is what enables people to go to church on Sunday but not allow God to influence the rest of the week. It’s the reason why art has been looked down on by Christians for centuries, because art is a large part of the culture.

Yet in order to effectively fulfill the Great Commission, we need to engage in the culture so we can connect with people. And art, when used properly, is just as much a form of communication as a sermon is. Ultimately, we first need to listen to the discussions going on in the world before we can establish ourselves as a power and presence there. I think engaging with the culture is absolutely necessary for connecting with other unbelievers. I grew up in a family that doesn’t watch a lot of TV, and our movie collection was mainly all Disney-produced. When I was in high school, I found it challenging at times to connect with my peers because I wasn’t aware of the popular movies, shows, and music. So I would agree that engaging with the culture definitely makes it easier to connect with other people.

One of the reasons why Christian art becomes flat and lifeless, and thus ineffective, is because Christian artists neglect to portray the reality of life. We try to tie up all the loose ends of our life stories to find an overarching meaning, when in fact, the stories are still being told. I loved the examples in the Bible of the endings that were unsatisfactory or even missing altogether. The Bible is effective because it’s real––it doesn’t gloss over anything or airbrush anyone. It’s full of loose threads, but that’s what makes it so relatable. Things don’t always have to be neat and tidy and finished, because that’s not how real life is. Art becomes relatable when it reflects reality, and everyone can relate with loose ends, mixed emotions, and imperfections.

As Christians, we are called to be the salt and light in the world. That doesn’t necessarily mean we need to do anything special; we just need to apply Jesus’ standards in the daily circumstances we encounter. Doing so will inevitably affect how we see and make art. Over time, we will naturally share our Christian story with others through our actions and our creations.

Aren't 301s, 302s, and Canonicals All Basically the Same? - Best of Whiteboard Friday

Posted by Dr-Pete

They say history repeats itself. In the case of the great 301 vs 302 vs rel=canonical debate, it repeats itself about every three months. And in the case of this Whiteboard Friday, it repeats once every two years as we revisit a still-relevant topic in SEO and re-release an episode that's highly popular to this day. Join Dr. Pete as he explains how bots and humans experience pages differently depending on which solution you use, why it matters, and how each choice may be treated by Google.

Hey, Moz fans, it's Dr. Pete, your friendly neighborhood marketing scientist here at Moz, and I want to talk today about an issue that comes up probably about every three months since the beginning of SEO history. It's a question that looks something like this: Aren't 301s, 302s, and canonicals all basically the same?

So if you're busy and you need the short answer, it's, "No, they're not." But you may want the more nuanced approach. This popped up again about a week [month] ago, because John Mueller on the Webmaster Team at Google had posted about redirection for secure sites, and in it someone had said, "Oh, wait, 302s don't pass PageRank."

John said, "No. That's a myth. It's incorrect that 302s don't pass PR," which is a very short answer to a very long, technical question. So SEOs, of course, jumped on that, and it turned into, "301s and 302s are the same, cats are dogs, cakes are pie, up is down." We all did our freakout that happens four times a year.

So I want to get into why this is a difficult question, why these things are important, why they are different, and why they're different not just from a technical SEO perspective, but from the intent and why that matters.

I've talked to John a little bit. I'm not going to put words in his mouth, but I think 95% of this will be approved, and if you want to ask him, that's okay afterwards too.

Why is this such a difficult question?

So let's talk a little bit about classic 301, 302. So a 301 redirect situation is what we call a permanent redirect. What we're trying to accomplish is something like this. We have an old URL, URL A, and let's say for example a couple years ago Moz moved our entire site from seomoz.org to moz.com. That was a permanent change, and so we wanted to tell Google two things and all bots and browsers:

First of all, send the people to the new URL, and, second,

pass all the signals. All these equity, PR, ranking signals, whatever you want to call them, authority, that should go to the new page as well.

So people and bots should both end up on this new page.

A classic 302 situation is something like a one-day sale. So what we're saying is for some reason we have this main page with the product. We can't put the sale information on that page. We need a new URL. Maybe it's our CMS, maybe it's a political thing, doesn't matter. So we want to do a 302, a temporary redirect that says, "Hey, you know what? All the signals, all the ranking signals, the PR, for Google's sake keep the old page. That's the main one. But send people to this other page just for a couple of days, and then we're going to take that away."

So these do two different things. One of these tells the bots, "Hey, this is the new home," and the other one tells it, "Hey, stick around here. This is going to come back, but we want people to see the new thing."

So I think sometimes Google interprets our meaning and can change things around, and we get frustrated because we go, "Why are they doing that? Why don't they just listen to our signals?"

Why are these differentiations important?

The problem is this. In the real world, we end up with things like this, we have page W that 301s to page T that 302s to page F and page F rel=canonicals back to page W, and Google reads this and says, "W, T, F." What do we do?

We sent bad signals. We've done something that just doesn't make sense, and Google is forced to interpret us, and that's a very difficult thing. We do a lot of strange things. We'll set up 302s because that's what's in our CMS, that's what's easy in an Apache rewrite file. We forget to change it to a 301. Our devs don't know the difference, and so we end up with a lot of ambiguous situations, a lot of mixed signals, and Google is trying to help us. Sometimes they don't help us very well, but they just run into these problems a lot.

In this case, the bots have no idea where to go. The people are going to end up on that last page, but the bots are going to have to choose, and they're probably going to choose badly because our intent isn't clear.

How are 301s, 302s, and rel=canonical different?

So there are a couple situations I want to cover, because I think they're fairly common and I want to show that this is complex. Google can interpret, but there are some reasons and there's some rhyme or reason.

1. Long-term 302s may be treated as 301s.

So the first one is that long-term 302s are probably going to be treated as 301s. They don't make any sense. If you set up a 302 and you leave it for six months, Google is going to look at that and say, "You know what? I think you meant this to be permanent and you made a mistake. We're going to pass ranking signals, and we're going to send people to page B." I think that generally makes sense.

Some types of 302s just don't make sense at all. So if you're migrating from non-secure to secure, from HTTP to HTTPS and you set up a 302, that's a signal that doesn't quite make sense. Why would you temporarily migrate? This is probably a permanent choice, and so in that case, and this is actually what John was addressing in this post originally, in that case Google is probably going to look at that and say, "You know what? I think you meant 301s here," and they're going to pass signals to the secure version. We know they prefer that anyway, so they're going to make that choice for you.

If you're confused about where the signals are going, then look at the page that's ranking, because in most cases the page that Google chooses to rank is the one that's getting the ranking signals. It's the one that's getting the PR and the authority.

So if you have a case like this, a 302, and you leave it up permanently and you start to see that Page B is the one that's being indexed and ranking, then Page B is probably the one that's getting the ranking signals. So Google has interpreted this as a 301. If you leave a 302 up for six months and you see that Google is still taking people to Page A, then Page A is probably where the ranking signals are going.

So that can give you an indicator of what their decision is. It's a little hard to reverse that. But if you've left a 302 in place for six months, then I think you have to ask yourself, "What was my intent? What am I trying to accomplish here?"

Part of the problem with this is that when we ask this question, "Aren't 302s, 301s, canonicals all basically the same?" what we're really implying is, "Aren't they the same for SEO?" I think this is a legitimate but very dangerous question, because, yes, we need to know how the signals are passed and, yes, Google may pass ranking signals through any of these things. But for people they're very different, and this is important.

2. Rel=canonical is for bots, not people.

So I want to talk about rel=canonical briefly because rel=canonical is a bit different. We have Page A and Page B again, and we're going to canonical from Page A to Page B. What we're basically saying with this is, "Look, I want you, the bots, to consider Page B to be the main page. You know, for some reason I have to have these near duplicates. I have to have these other copies. But this is the main one. This is what I want to rank. But I want people to stay on Page A."

So this is entirely different from a 301 where I want people and bots to go to Page B. That's different from a 302, where I'm going to try to keep the bots where they are, but send people over here.

So take it from a user perspective. I have had in Q&A all the time people say, "Well, I've heard that rel=canonical passes ranking signals. Which should I choose? Should I choose that or 301? What's better for SEO?"

That's true. We do think it generally passes ranking signals, but for SEO is a bad question, because these are completely different user experiences, and either you're going to want people to stay on Page A or you're going to want people to go to Page B.

Why this matters, both for bots and for people

So I just want you to keep in mind, when you look at these three things, it's true that 302s can pass PR. But if you're in a situation where you want a permanent redirect, you want people to go to Page B, you want bots to go to Page B, you want Page B to rank, use the right signal. Don't confuse Google. They may make bad choices. Some of your 302s may be treated as 301s. It doesn't make them the same, and a rel=canonical is a very, very different situation that essentially leaves people behind and sends bots ahead.

So keep in mind what your use case actually is, keep in mind what your goals are, and don't get over-focused on the ranking signals themselves or the SEO uses because all off these three things have different purposes.

So I hope that makes sense. If you have any questions or comments or you've seen anything weird actually happen on Google, please let us know and I'll be happy to address that. And until then, we'll see you next week.

The problem is this. In the real world, we end up with things like this, we have page W that 301s to page T that 302s to page F and page F rel=canonicals back to page W, and Google reads this and says, "W, T, F." What do we do?

We sent bad signals. We've done something that just doesn't make sense, and Google is forced to interpret us, and that's a very difficult thing. We do a lot of strange things. We'll set up 302s because that's what's in our CMS, that's what's easy in an Apache rewrite file. We forget to change it to a 301. Our devs don't know the difference, and so we end up with a lot of ambiguous situations, a lot of mixed signals, and Google is trying to help us. Sometimes they don't help us very well, but they just run into these problems a lot.

In this case, the bots have no idea where to go. The people are going to end up on that last page, but the bots are going to have to choose, and they're probably going to choose badly because our intent isn't clear.

How are 301s, 302s, and rel=canonical different?

So there are a couple situations I want to cover, because I think they're fairly common and I want to show that this is complex. Google can interpret, but there are some reasons and there's some rhyme or reason.

1. Long-term 302s may be treated as 301s.

So the first one is that long-term 302s are probably going to be treated as 301s. They don't make any sense. If you set up a 302 and you leave it for six months, Google is going to look at that and say, "You know what? I think you meant this to be permanent and you made a mistake. We're going to pass ranking signals, and we're going to send people to page B." I think that generally makes sense.

Some types of 302s just don't make sense at all. So if you're migrating from non-secure to secure, from HTTP to HTTPS and you set up a 302, that's a signal that doesn't quite make sense. Why would you temporarily migrate? This is probably a permanent choice, and so in that case, and this is actually what John was addressing in this post originally, in that case Google is probably going to look at that and say, "You know what? I think you meant 301s here," and they're going to pass signals to the secure version. We know they prefer that anyway, so they're going to make that choice for you.

If you're confused about where the signals are going, then look at the page that's ranking, because in most cases the page that Google chooses to rank is the one that's getting the ranking signals. It's the one that's getting the PR and the authority.

So if you have a case like this, a 302, and you leave it up permanently and you start to see that Page B is the one that's being indexed and ranking, then Page B is probably the one that's getting the ranking signals. So Google has interpreted this as a 301. If you leave a 302 up for six months and you see that Google is still taking people to Page A, then Page A is probably where the ranking signals are going.

So that can give you an indicator of what their decision is. It's a little hard to reverse that. But if you've left a 302 in place for six months, then I think you have to ask yourself, "What was my intent? What am I trying to accomplish here?"

Part of the problem with this is that when we ask this question, "Aren't 302s, 301s, canonicals all basically the same?" what we're really implying is, "Aren't they the same for SEO?" I think this is a legitimate but very dangerous question, because, yes, we need to know how the signals are passed and, yes, Google may pass ranking signals through any of these things. But for people they're very different, and this is important.

2. Rel=canonical is for bots, not people.

So I want to talk about rel=canonical briefly because rel=canonical is a bit different. We have Page A and Page B again, and we're going to canonical from Page A to Page B. What we're basically saying with this is, "Look, I want you, the bots, to consider Page B to be the main page. You know, for some reason I have to have these near duplicates. I have to have these other copies. But this is the main one. This is what I want to rank. But I want people to stay on Page A."

So this is entirely different from a 301 where I want people and bots to go to Page B. That's different from a 302, where I'm going to try to keep the bots where they are, but send people over here.

So take it from a user perspective. I have had in Q&A all the time people say, "Well, I've heard that rel=canonical passes ranking signals. Which should I choose? Should I choose that or 301? What's better for SEO?"

That's true. We do think it generally passes ranking signals, but for SEO is a bad question, because these are completely different user experiences, and either you're going to want people to stay on Page A or you're going to want people to go to Page B.

Why this matters, both for bots and for people

So I just want you to keep in mind, when you look at these three things, it's true that 302s can pass PR. But if you're in a situation where you want a permanent redirect, you want people to go to Page B, you want bots to go to Page B, you want Page B to rank, use the right signal. Don't confuse Google. They may make bad choices. Some of your 302s may be treated as 301s. It doesn't make them the same, and a rel=canonical is a very, very different situation that essentially leaves people behind and sends bots ahead.

So keep in mind what your use case actually is, keep in mind what your goals are, and don't get over-focused on the ranking signals themselves or the SEO uses because all off these three things have different purposes.

So I hope that makes sense. If you have any questions or comments or you've seen anything weird actually happen on Google, please let us know and I'll be happy to address that. And until then, we'll see you next week.

Aren't 301s, 302s, and Canonicals All Basically the Same? - Best of Whiteboard Friday

Posted by Dr-Pete

They say history repeats itself. In the case of the great 301 vs 302 vs rel=canonical debate, it repeats itself about every three months. And in the case of this Whiteboard Friday, it repeats once every two years as we revisit a still-relevant topic in SEO and re-release an episode that's highly popular to this day. Join Dr. Pete as he explains how bots and humans experience pages differently depending on which solution you use, why it matters, and how each choice may be treated by Google.

Hey, Moz fans, it's Dr. Pete, your friendly neighborhood marketing scientist here at Moz, and I want to talk today about an issue that comes up probably about every three months since the beginning of SEO history. It's a question that looks something like this: Aren't 301s, 302s, and canonicals all basically the same?

So if you're busy and you need the short answer, it's, "No, they're not." But you may want the more nuanced approach. This popped up again about a week [month] ago, because John Mueller on the Webmaster Team at Google had posted about redirection for secure sites, and in it someone had said, "Oh, wait, 302s don't pass PageRank."

John said, "No. That's a myth. It's incorrect that 302s don't pass PR," which is a very short answer to a very long, technical question. So SEOs, of course, jumped on that, and it turned into, "301s and 302s are the same, cats are dogs, cakes are pie, up is down." We all did our freakout that happens four times a year.

So I want to get into why this is a difficult question, why these things are important, why they are different, and why they're different not just from a technical SEO perspective, but from the intent and why that matters.

I've talked to John a little bit. I'm not going to put words in his mouth, but I think 95% of this will be approved, and if you want to ask him, that's okay afterwards too.

Why is this such a difficult question?

So let's talk a little bit about classic 301, 302. So a 301 redirect situation is what we call a permanent redirect. What we're trying to accomplish is something like this. We have an old URL, URL A, and let's say for example a couple years ago Moz moved our entire site from seomoz.org to moz.com. That was a permanent change, and so we wanted to tell Google two things and all bots and browsers:

First of all, send the people to the new URL, and, second,

pass all the signals. All these equity, PR, ranking signals, whatever you want to call them, authority, that should go to the new page as well.

So people and bots should both end up on this new page.

A classic 302 situation is something like a one-day sale. So what we're saying is for some reason we have this main page with the product. We can't put the sale information on that page. We need a new URL. Maybe it's our CMS, maybe it's a political thing, doesn't matter. So we want to do a 302, a temporary redirect that says, "Hey, you know what? All the signals, all the ranking signals, the PR, for Google's sake keep the old page. That's the main one. But send people to this other page just for a couple of days, and then we're going to take that away."

So these do two different things. One of these tells the bots, "Hey, this is the new home," and the other one tells it, "Hey, stick around here. This is going to come back, but we want people to see the new thing."

So I think sometimes Google interprets our meaning and can change things around, and we get frustrated because we go, "Why are they doing that? Why don't they just listen to our signals?"

Why are these differentiations important?

The problem is this. In the real world, we end up with things like this, we have page W that 301s to page T that 302s to page F and page F rel=canonicals back to page W, and Google reads this and says, "W, T, F." What do we do?

We sent bad signals. We've done something that just doesn't make sense, and Google is forced to interpret us, and that's a very difficult thing. We do a lot of strange things. We'll set up 302s because that's what's in our CMS, that's what's easy in an Apache rewrite file. We forget to change it to a 301. Our devs don't know the difference, and so we end up with a lot of ambiguous situations, a lot of mixed signals, and Google is trying to help us. Sometimes they don't help us very well, but they just run into these problems a lot.

In this case, the bots have no idea where to go. The people are going to end up on that last page, but the bots are going to have to choose, and they're probably going to choose badly because our intent isn't clear.

How are 301s, 302s, and rel=canonical different?

So there are a couple situations I want to cover, because I think they're fairly common and I want to show that this is complex. Google can interpret, but there are some reasons and there's some rhyme or reason.

1. Long-term 302s may be treated as 301s.

So the first one is that long-term 302s are probably going to be treated as 301s. They don't make any sense. If you set up a 302 and you leave it for six months, Google is going to look at that and say, "You know what? I think you meant this to be permanent and you made a mistake. We're going to pass ranking signals, and we're going to send people to page B." I think that generally makes sense.

Some types of 302s just don't make sense at all. So if you're migrating from non-secure to secure, from HTTP to HTTPS and you set up a 302, that's a signal that doesn't quite make sense. Why would you temporarily migrate? This is probably a permanent choice, and so in that case, and this is actually what John was addressing in this post originally, in that case Google is probably going to look at that and say, "You know what? I think you meant 301s here," and they're going to pass signals to the secure version. We know they prefer that anyway, so they're going to make that choice for you.

If you're confused about where the signals are going, then look at the page that's ranking, because in most cases the page that Google chooses to rank is the one that's getting the ranking signals. It's the one that's getting the PR and the authority.

So if you have a case like this, a 302, and you leave it up permanently and you start to see that Page B is the one that's being indexed and ranking, then Page B is probably the one that's getting the ranking signals. So Google has interpreted this as a 301. If you leave a 302 up for six months and you see that Google is still taking people to Page A, then Page A is probably where the ranking signals are going.

So that can give you an indicator of what their decision is. It's a little hard to reverse that. But if you've left a 302 in place for six months, then I think you have to ask yourself, "What was my intent? What am I trying to accomplish here?"

Part of the problem with this is that when we ask this question, "Aren't 302s, 301s, canonicals all basically the same?" what we're really implying is, "Aren't they the same for SEO?" I think this is a legitimate but very dangerous question, because, yes, we need to know how the signals are passed and, yes, Google may pass ranking signals through any of these things. But for people they're very different, and this is important.

2. Rel=canonical is for bots, not people.

So I want to talk about rel=canonical briefly because rel=canonical is a bit different. We have Page A and Page B again, and we're going to canonical from Page A to Page B. What we're basically saying with this is, "Look, I want you, the bots, to consider Page B to be the main page. You know, for some reason I have to have these near duplicates. I have to have these other copies. But this is the main one. This is what I want to rank. But I want people to stay on Page A."

So this is entirely different from a 301 where I want people and bots to go to Page B. That's different from a 302, where I'm going to try to keep the bots where they are, but send people over here.

So take it from a user perspective. I have had in Q&A all the time people say, "Well, I've heard that rel=canonical passes ranking signals. Which should I choose? Should I choose that or 301? What's better for SEO?"

That's true. We do think it generally passes ranking signals, but for SEO is a bad question, because these are completely different user experiences, and either you're going to want people to stay on Page A or you're going to want people to go to Page B.

Why this matters, both for bots and for people

So I just want you to keep in mind, when you look at these three things, it's true that 302s can pass PR. But if you're in a situation where you want a permanent redirect, you want people to go to Page B, you want bots to go to Page B, you want Page B to rank, use the right signal. Don't confuse Google. They may make bad choices. Some of your 302s may be treated as 301s. It doesn't make them the same, and a rel=canonical is a very, very different situation that essentially leaves people behind and sends bots ahead.

So keep in mind what your use case actually is, keep in mind what your goals are, and don't get over-focused on the ranking signals themselves or the SEO uses because all off these three things have different purposes.

So I hope that makes sense. If you have any questions or comments or you've seen anything weird actually happen on Google, please let us know and I'll be happy to address that. And until then, we'll see you next week.
