Htaccess help... I moved my blog from a seperate domain to newdomain.com/blog
-
Hi,
I need help with my htaccess file, I've been told.
I moved a blog i had hosted somewhere else to a directory on my ecommerce site. I was told i would need to write something to go in the htaccess file so the sites would not become duplicate content, but I'm a novice and have no idea how to write that code.
blog moved from www.whosyourmoondoggie.com to www.moondoggieinc.com/blog
Please help, or direct me to the right tutorial
Thanks!

found this
RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !newdomain.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
and it worked, thank you guys for your help though!

When I put in your code I get a 500 error? and if I put in JayD's code the site comes back up but there's not a visible redirect.
I know this sounds sill but I'm putting this into the htaccess of the old domain correct?
Should i be getting a 500 error or be seeing a visible redirect when i go to the address?
Thanks KO

Hi Kristy
If you want to move old domain to the new domain you should do a 301 moved permanently redirect.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www.whosyourmoondoggie.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.moondoggieinc.com/blog/$1 [L,R=301]
After adding this code search engines and users will be automatically redirected to the new domain and all information related to that domain will transfer in new domain. One of the biggest advantage is that your page rank, link juice will also transfer to new domain. Your website can be accessed with www.domain.com and domain.com. So you can easily solve duplicate content error with this code.

This should be close. No warranties!
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.whosyourmoondoggie.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.moondoggieinc.com/blog/$1 [R=301,L]

What domain name do you think is better for SEO: sirocco-webdesign.com or sirocco-web-design.com?
Hello, I would appreciate it very much if you share with me your thoughts on what domain name I'd better pick out in terms of productive SEO: sirocco-webdesign.com or sirocco-web-design.com? I know hyphens are not good, but second domain looks better, I think.

One server, two domains - robots.txt allow for one domain but not other?
Hello, I would like to create a single server with two domains pointing to it. Ex: domain1.com -> myserver.com/ domain2.com -> myserver.com/subfolder. The goal is to create two separate sites on one server. I would like the second domain ( /subfolder) to be fully indexed / SEO friendly and have the robots txt file allow search bots to crawl. However, the first domain (server root) I would like to keep non-indexed, and the robots.txt file disallowing any bots / indexing. Does anyone have any suggestions for the best way to tackle this one? Thanks!

Google showing https:// page in search results but directing to http:// page
We're a bit confused as to why Google shows a secure page https:// URL in the results for some of our pages. This includes our homepage. But when you click through it isn't taking you to the https:// page, just the normal unsecured page. This isn't happening for all of our results, most of our deeper content results are not showing as https://. I thought this might have something to do with Google conducting searches behind secure pages now, but this problem doesn't seem to affect other sites and our competitors. Any ideas as to why this is happening and how we get around it?

Blog.domain or domain.com/blog
My client can't do domain.com/blog because he's on wix. I'm thinking blog.domain.com. Do you have any resources for the pros and cons of this? I understand that google looks at them very similarly now, is that true for google +?

I need help compiling solid documentation and data (if possible) that having tons of orphaned pages is bad for SEO - Can you help?
I spent an hour this afternoon trying to convince my CEO that having thousands of orphaned pages is bad for SEO. His argument was "If they aren't indexed, then I don't see how it can be a problem." Despite my best efforts to convince him that thousands of them ARE indexed, he simply said "Unless you can prove it's bad and prove what benefit the site would get out of cleaning them up, I don't see it as a priority." So, I am turning to all you brilliant folks here in Q & A and asking for help...and some words of encouragement would be nice today too 🙂 Dana
