How To Redirect...

[NameWolf]

Hello Guys,

I want to redirect my olddomain.com main page to newdomain.com but I want the inside pages of olddomain.com such as http://www.olddomain.com/directory/content.html to remain as it is. Basically I need to point the main page of my old site to my new site but I want the rest of the site to remain where it is. What is the best way to do this with minumum search engine rankings loss ?

Thanks in advance for all your assistance.

Try using meta refresh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_refresh) with a delay of a few seconds linking to your new site saying you moved.

why dont you try 301 redirect? add

redirect 301 /old-directory/file.html http://www.newdomainame.com/directory/file.html

to your .htaccess file. that's all . you have completed:)

He's correct, that's the better way to do it.. some reason I didn't think about it.
