You can check this pretty easily using something like the free link checker from Xenu as they will report the 301 redirects your server is doing.

As mentioned above - 301s can fix the problem - but ONLY if you have your server set correctly (and there are a bunch of hosts that don't know how to setup a server for SE botting)



added- dont pay any attention to the thing about sandbox - there is no such thing
