301 Redirect And Sitemaps
May 25, 2006
what is 301 redirect? i heard that when as a website publisher, you should redirect your mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com everytime as the domain with www. in front of it bears more value... Is that true?
Btw, there was a time that i submitted two sitemaps to google, once for the domain without the www. and the seond with the www. I eventually took down the one with www.
So, as you may expect, there's only results showing up when i type site:mydomain.com and only 1 result for site:www.mydomian.com... i was thinking, mayb i should have juz list two sitemaps for the same site... any benefits/harm of doing that? does that increase PR or anything?

I have multiple domains on my web server. One of my domains does not display its website when using example.com in the location bar.
Eg. example.com redirects to site2.com but www.example.com displays properly.
I tried adding to the htaccess file:
Quote:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]
It doesn't work. The redirect does not occur.

A benchmark for my website sais this:
Search engines may think serviciionline.net and www. serviciionline.net are two different sites.
You should set up a permanent redirect (technically called a "301 redirect") between these sites. Once you do that, you will get full search engine credit for your work on these sites. For example, serviciionline.net seems to have 3,058 inbound links whereas www. serviciionline.net has 32 inbound links. By correctly configuring a permanent 301 redirect, the search rankings might improve as all inbound links are correctly counted for the website.
How can I do that redirection? I have cPanel Pro in my hosting, and as far as I can see, with or without www, I land in the same place

I am trying to redirect all traffic from one domain to another, via:
Redirect permanent / [url]
The problem I'm running into is that some of the subpages have been renamed on the new site, i.e. -
[url] > [url]
There are a LOT of pages. Is there someway to redirect everything to the new site's homepage, and what will that do to my SE rankings?

I have been reading up on redirects using .htaccess files but it doesn't seem to be doing any good.
I need the following link:
[url]
to automagically redirect to:
[url]
I tried:
redirect permanent /fsbo /sellers/articles/fsbo.htm
But no dice.
Also - will doing a redirect like this cause an kind of SEO problems? I want my visitors to be able to enter something short like that instead of the long address.

I have a web application built with PHP which uses the MVC design pattern.
The application forwards all requests through index.php.
I am using IIRF (similar to mod_rewrite - IIS6 has no native rewrite module) to rewrite all requests through the index.php file and this is successful.
My application has several "modules" which I wish to be accessible via different URLs. For example the following is how I wish to set up my URLs: ...

The thing is that we have a dedicated server at our company hosting several domains, and right now you can access them both with the www prefix or without it, but there is no redirection in case you access without it, and this has negative impact with SEO related stuff.
I have the rewrite apache module enabled (I tested with a script I found on the net), and I also tried a test configuring a single domain including some code about redirection.
Right now I'm getting a nice "500 Internal Server Error"
This is the code in .htaccess
Code:
Option +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^mydomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [url]
(mydomain.com is, obviously, a replacement for the real domain in both cases)

I am trying to figure out how to do the following:
Say I have a URL like this: www.myreallylongsiteurl.com and I want it to automatically redirect to www.myRegularURL.com.
How would I go about doing this? Do I actually have to setup a whole new site in IIS and have a page there that just does a redirect or can I set up some sort of alias for this?
Also, my customer would like me to set it up so that myRegularURL.com redirects automatically to www.myRegularURL.com. they don't want to have to do the www in the url. Do I do this the same way as above?

I am trying to do is have a redirect so the files get redirected to a subdomain. So domain.com gets pointed to domain.newdomain.com. However, I want to keep the current URLs, so say I got [url], the below code is just redirecting that url to [url]rather than
[url]
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$
RewriteRule (.*) [url]/$1 [R=Permanent]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} domain.com$
RewriteRule (.*) [url]$1 [R=Permanent]

A spammer has sent a ton of users a phishing email requesting the users password...
I work for a regional ISP, and we deal with alot of elderly people who would probably send him a response with a password... I looked over the mail log and one person did respond back to him...
Basically... I want to do like... a virtusertable entry that forwards any email sent to HIM... to ME...
so basically... his email is for instance: phishingspammer@gmail.com
I want to do something like this in the virtusertable (I understand it probably cannot be done thru the virtusertable):
phishingspammer@gmail.com goodguy@regionalisp.com
This way I can alert the people who DO try to send him emails that the email was stopped and to never respond with a password.

We have a situation where we want to rename about 550 HTML pages. In doing so, we want to 301 redirect the old pages to the new ones - best choice I believe?
All:
What is the easiest way to do this? We are running Microsoft IIS. I don't want to burden the system admin (not me) with having to a manual operation on 500 + pages. Also, the page names will be completely different. Besides going from html to .asp the names will totally be changed from like abcd123.html to my-optimized-keywords.asp
Has anyone used a custom 404 page to handle this. How does it work?

I am trying to redirect from:
[url]
over too:
[url]
Now the software i'm using on the /forums/ is different, so i need ALL inbound links to any area of phpBB2 to redirect to /forums/ and be stripped of the "index.php=topic111.22."
All the redirects I have tried seem to leave the rest of the URL on then give a page not found.

I just recently upgraded my website from WordPress to WordPress Mu.
Everything went smoothly except for one problem. On WordPress, all my posts would appear as [url] but with WordPress Mu, it is now [url]. So whenever someone visits ht[url] or [url] they are given a 404 error because it no longer exists at that location.
I know there is a way, like a wildcard or something, that makes it so that wheneever anyone visits [url]anything it would change it to[url]whatever else was typed/, no? I can't figure out how to search for that exactly and tried reading through .htaccess docs and can't figure out how to make this work.

I just installed a RapidSSL cert on www.mysite.com
Works fine if a user types [url]
But what I'd like is if a user types [url] it shows up as secure. I tried a redired 301 in my .htaccess file but that doesn't seem to work.

I have decided to move [url]photo to [url]
What should I do, so that a visitor who comes to
[url]
will be automatically transferred to [url]
I want it to be all inclusing, so if someone comes to [url]
he/she will be routed to [url]
I have root access to my server. I need the most efficient way, if there is a choice between some.

I have 2000 domains set to
NS1.anydomain.com NS2 etc
Is it possible, through some script or otherwise, to send the traffic to certain/chosen domains to a completely different set of nameservers.? Preferably without having too much server load?
I already use a domain catchall, so no NS records are actually registered on the server.

I'v been searching the internet for ways to redirect/mask a domain in Linux (Ubuntu) and everything points me to godaddy. The server is ssh there is no control panel on it. So if anyone knows a way I can redirect my domain name and mask it that would be great. For example domain1 points to domain2, but in the address bar it shows domain1.
