RedirectMatch permanent related questions.....

[a3196]

Hi,,,,All

I have some questions to ask all you DP members....

I have a web site currently only doing forum....but I'm planning to open an ecommerce website too.....

I used RedirectMatch permanent to redirect to forum directory.

ex) http://www.mydomain.com/ -> http://www.mydomain.com/forum/

What I'm planning is first activate forum then I will open a ecommerce related to forum.... It may take a while to get traffics and popularity...

and after my forum gets enough traffic I'm going to open an ecommerce site on main directory http://www.mydomain.com and release redirect....

Sould I get backlinks towards main domain(http://www.mydomain.com) or towords my forum(/forum)???


Thanks in Advance

Get links pointing to whatever you want the links pointing to (in the end).

But my ultimate goal is the main page which will make some money....

but first i have to get some traffics and members to my forum....
If i get links towards my main domain name, Will forum get some benefits of backlinks? and After I release redirect, my domain will get all the backlinks benefits?

So you are saying it doesn't matter???

If i get backlinks towards my main url, I automatically gets links towards forum (domain.com/forum)???

and once I release redirect, All backlinks goes to main url???


Thanks

Do 301 redirects pass page rank?

Sorry, hope this is not the silliest question you've ever heard, really don't know...

Based on what shawn said.... It passes pagerank and also benefits of backlinks.

Right Shawn??
