How do I set-up a 301 redirect?
-
Moz alerted me to two 404 errors on our website. I am now trying to place a 301 redirect on them. How would I go about accomplishing?
-
Redirect 301 /registerlogin-2/ http://everlastingchanges.com/registerlogin-3/
But please - remove "scheduling" from main homepage that doesn't exist anymore.

This should be a suitable guide for you http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/sitemanagement/urlrewriting.html

The other is everlastingchanges.com/registerlogin-2/
-
Yes, one is http://everlastingchanges.com/scheduling...

Have you got your url? I'll be able to tell you how to do a redirect with that information.

Hey Harvey, I appreciate the response. However, I have already read through that information and was unable to locate the exact answer on how to redirect. I was given more information on what is a redirection, url, etc.

If you have 404 somewhere inside of your site there is only one way to fix them - fixing URLs. So if on page A i have link to page B that doesn't exist. Robots will crawl page A and seeing about presence of page B. But on checking page B robots will get 404. So it's much better to fix page A to link to page C that exists. And this is for internal sites.
If you have incoming links to 404. Site A page B link to your site X page Y. Since you can't fix page B then you can make 301 redirect on your website and redirect page Y to page Z that exist.
If you have outgoing links to 404. Then try to find update URL/site if they still exist. If doesn't exist anymore try to find replacement or redirect to archive.org. Or update your page that this doesn't exists anymore.
301 redirects are quick to fix with Apache and it's .htaccess. All you need is just to make somewhere line as:
Redirect 301 /dir/page.htm http://www.example.com/new-dir/new-page.html
Redirect 301 /dir/subdir/page.htm http://www.example.com/new-dir/new-subdir/new-page.php
of course this is example and you need to edit them for your specific case. You also must watch http access log for 404s. -

Links>TopPages: Mostly image URLs: Good for SEO? Redirect obsolete ones??
Looking at my "Links > Top Pages" report shows the top fifteen being image URLs (jpg files). Weird or normal? Clicking the "View Links" icon for a few of the image URL's shows that the best links in the list have DA in the 30's and 40's, and some PA in the 20's. But the linking sites have names that SOUND pretty crappy (from sites with names that sound weird or spammy) QUESTION 1: Do links to image URLs... A) help the overall SEO of the site's HTML pages, B) only help the specific page the image appears on, C) or are they of no value to the regular pages? QUESTION 2: What to do with the obsolete images? (images still hosted on our site, but do not appear on any pages) If I remove the images, the links will be lost. Which is good if the links are hurting us, but it would be bad for our SEO if the links are helping (unless we 301 the obsolete images to current ones) Thanks!

404 even after Successful 301 Redirection
Hi, I've got quite few 404 error links on my site and I manually redirected all of them one by one with 301. They are redirecting successfully. But when I check my MOZ analysis, it still shows me as 404 error. I've done this about 4 days ago and MOZ crawled to my site couple times after that if it's not everyday. Do you know what the issue could be? And how can I fix it? PS: I've used Wordpress Redirection tool for it first and redirection did not work. Then I had to install the Simple 301 Redirects plugin to get it done.

Temporary Redirects
Hi, I've noticed that most of my temporary redirects are the cause of this parameter. http://www.maddenstudents.com/forum/search.php**?s=2f0b01c7d530cf117a2bbb6811f0b527**&do=finduser&userid=1&contenttype=vBForum_Post&showposts=1 http://www.maddenstudents.com/forum/search.php**?s=2f0b01c7d530cf117a2bbb6811f0b527**&do=finduser&userid=1&searchthreadid=15&contenttype=vBForum_Post&showposts=1 I also noticed that almost all of my duplicate content and duplicate titles are the cause of this parameter. I tried going into google webmasters, but they say i don't need to change anything. How do I get rid of this parameter because it seems to be causing a lot of errors and warning for me.

How do we use SEOmoz to track Local Searches? Is there a way to set the location from which the campaign tracker is "searching"?
It seems that there is no way to set a parameter for location. In Places, I'm able to define my targeted region. How does SEOmoz mimic that localization? Thank for any help! -- Chris
