will redirecting of the parent URL affect the children URL?

will redirecting of the parent URL affect the children URL? - If a page has internal and external outgoing links to redirecting URLs, it’s returning 3xx (301, 302, etc.) HTTP status codes standing for redirection. This issue means that the page does not exist on a permanent or temporary basis. It appears on most of the popular web browsers, usually caused by a misconfigured website. However, there are some steps you can take to ensure the issue isn’t on your side. You can find more details about redirecting URLs by reading the Google Search Central overview. In this article, we’ll go over how you can fix the will redirecting of the parent URL affect the children URL? error on your web browser. Problem :

my website has this URL :

(A) http://www.mysite.com/book/name-of-book/12345

This url will show to the detailed information of a book with ID=12345

When user skips the "/12345" part in the url, (i.e. (B) http://www.mysite.com/book/name-of-book ), the user will be redirected (302 redirect) to this page:

(C) http://www.mysite.com/search/name-of-book

which searches all books that contains the word "name, of, book".

As the url (B) is actually the "parent folder" of url (A), so in terms of SEO, will redirecting (B) to (C) cause any negative effect on (A)?

Solution :

Every URL is independent of another. So if URL B is a redirect it won't affect URL A.

No that wouldn't be an issue, as long as you make sure that the entire path exists. But why is there a redirect there? if he leaves out the 12345 he doesn't have to be redirected, right? If he does have to be redirected, make it a 301 and not a 302.
