Redirect 301
-
Hi,
I `m redirecting some pages in htaccess
The first 15 pages that i redirected it worked. But the last 3 dont work, and i cant figure it out why it is not working.
Redirect 301 /analyseverktoy/ /webanalyse
Redirect 301 /index.php/ledige-stillinger/ /
Redirect 301 /?page_id=352/ /Anu suggestions?
-
And when you look at the final URLs in the address bar of your browser, do these URLs that return 404 errors correspond to the URLs you set up with the Redirect rule?
Usually when your redirects are messed up you get 500 Internal Server errors, not 404 errors.
Maybe the problem is not in how you defined the redirects in the .htaccess file, but you are choosing the incorrect URLs to redirect to.
-
I get a 404. page not found.
The strange part is that some are working and the other ones are not.
-
If you defined the redirect rules correctly and some works and some don't check if these new defined rules don't conflict with others previously declared. What errors do you get?
-
Any suggestions why it does not work or how we can fiks it?
-
Thanx, one of them is working...but the other ones stil dont work....
Working: Redirect 301 /index.php/ledige-stillinger/ http://mysite.com/
Not Working:
Redirect 301 /?page_id=352/ http://mysite.com/
Redirect 301 /googleanalitycskurs/ http://mysite.com/googleanalyticskurs
Redirect 301 /sokemotoroptimalisering-tips/ http://mysite.com/sokemotoroptimaliseringtips/Thank you for the advice.

That's exactly how I do mine. The full URL is what you are missing. You need the http:// in it.
-
It doesn't work because you are not doing it correctly
The Redirect command has 3 parameters:
1. The redirect type (in your case 301)
2. The location of the file/directory you want redirected relative to the root of your site
3. the full URL of the location you want that request sent toYou are mistaken the third parameter, because you are not putting there the full path. You should put something like this:
Redirect 301 /analyseverktoy/ http://www.yoursite.com/webanalyse
Redirect 301 /index.php/ledige-stillinger/ http://www.yoursite.com/
Redirect 301 /?page_id=352/ http://www.yoursite.com/

Redirect Chains
Hi There, I have had conducted a few migrations recently and have a common issue which is this: HTTP (old site) -> HTTPS (old site) -> (HTTPS) (new site) Which causes a redirect chain. How should you prevent this before migration or fix it after migration? Cheers.

301 redirect impact on ranking
If Website A is ranking 19th position in Google for a specific keyword, and Website B is ranking 30th position for the same keyword, What would be impact after 301 redirect? Will Website A drop to 30th position because of 301 or existing position would improve because of link juice?

Can I undo a 301 redirect? Will it penalize my ranking?
I'm in charge of building a website for a company that made a mess. They own domain xxx.it (xxx is not the real domain, just a placeholder). Some years ago they 301 redirected xxx.it to xxx.com (they just changed TLDs). Last year they 301 redirected xxx.com to yyy.com (so, they actually changed domains). Now, after 13 months, the company failed and the new leadership wants me to undo everything and 301 redirect from yyy.com to xxx.it. So: 301 redirect is permanent. So, conceptually it's wrong to undo it. What happens if I undo it? Will my ranking be penalized, even if a significant amount of time has passed (13 months)? Will crawlers detect a loop (even if i remove any 301 redirect from xxx.it and theorically break the loop)? Here is the potential loop: xxx.it -> xxx.com -> yyy.com -> xxx.it -> etc... All of the articles I found on the web are quite old and not clear about this topic, that's why I'm asking this question.

301 issues
Hi, I have this site: www.berenjifamilylaw.com. We did a 301 from the old site: www.bestfamilylawattorney.com to the one above. It's been several weeks now and Google has indexed the new site, but still pulls the old one on search terms like: Los Angeles divorce lawyer. I'm curious, does anyone have experience with this? How long does it take for Google to remove the old site and start serving the new one as a search result? Any ideas or tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

Is it possible to avoid redirect of penalties for 301 forwards?
We have been doing a good amount of competitive research lately and have noticed sites that have been changing their TTLD quite often to escape manual penalties / DCMA filings. An example evolution: brandterm.com -> brandterm.bz -> brandterm.me These competitors are able to quickly rank for money keywords in the top 3 soon after another domain switch. What we have noticed is that while its obvious they received Google penalties they continue to 301 redirect the old domains to the new ones. We have experienced first hand that penalties travel along domains with 301 redirects. Does anyone have an explanation how these companies are able to achieve quickly high volume of organic search while 301-redirecting from burnt domains? The only option I see is to disavow all previous domains in GWT to be able to employ 301 redirects without risking carrying over the penalty. Are there other theories ppl can think of? T

301 Redirect from now defunct website?
Hi guys Quick question about 301 redirection between domains. I currently manage a website, lets call it website A. Website A sells a particular product range, however the decision has been made by the powers that be to pull the plug on the business and sell the products previously sold via Website A via another website within the parent companies control.....lets call it Website B. I need to make it clear to customers of Website A that the company no longer operates but want to pass the SEO equity that has been built up over time to the relevant pages on Website B. My plan was to 1. 301 Redirect all key landing pages on Website A to the most relevant pages on Website B 2. Initially keep the website A homepage live but change the message to say "Website A no longer operates, but Website B can help etc. etc." Remove all sub links from navigation. 3. Monitor referral and direct traffic levels and consider 301 redirecting website A homepage to Website B homepage in the long term. My questions: Does this sound like the best approach? If not, what alternatives are there? Will Website A look like a link farm for Website B? I dont want this obviously!

What is the Proper Use of 301 redirects for SEO purposes?
I heard and read from different sources that 301 redirects from aged domains with healthy link profiles is great to boost a sites rank as oppose to building a site around the page and linking it to the domain you want to rank. Whats is the best practice for this strategy? Thanks

Redirect a temporary IP
I was performing some development work on a client's site recently under a temporary location on the host's server, for example: http://11.22.33.444/~accountname/folder/page.html Google managed to index a couple of pages using this url 😞 I have updated DNS to the correct domain and the site is live, but I am a bit confused in regards to the correct way to create a 301 Redirect for this example or at least a way point it to our 404 page. I am hoping someone more proficient with htaccess can help me out a bit... Thanks!
