Numpty Alert - Redirects

[Baa]

I'm having a bit of an eeek moment. I was running a small test via this site because I'm really struggling with SEO ATM.

http://www.webpagefx.com/seo-tools/crawlerfx/

At the bottom of the page it tells me this,

Your server is returning a 'temporary redirect' to another URL. 302's do not pass reputation; we recommend changing this to a 301 redirect.

It's never said it before, in fact the other sites score full marks so what am I doing wrong here?

I know it's to do with htaccess and redirects may be managed via the Redirects on CPanel but I'm no expert and wondered if anyone would be kind enough to help please.

My htaccess contains the following with domain name changed

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.domain.co.uk/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /shop/ [R,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.co.uk
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.co.uk/$1 [R=permanent,L]

In the same area the site also said the following

Your pages content-type is text/html; charset=iso-8859-1       Needs Improvement

(What does?) Can it be improved?

Not a Numpty mod_rewrite can be a real pai to navigate through, some very experienced operators still consider it Voodoo magic

Code:

RewriteRule ^whatever/(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1/ [R=301,L]
or
RewriteRule ^index.htm$ http://www.domain.com/ [R=301,L]

So

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.domain.co.uk/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /shop/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.co.uk
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

Should be your code

Thank you thank you thank you Scotserve. I could kiss you (but you wouldn't like it) so     

I wish I understood at least 3% of what I am doing with websites.
