Domain question

Hello


I have a domain name lets say its domain.com


i want to install wordpress here domain.com/webservices


Then i will redirect the domain.com to domain.com/webservices


Permanently

will it be ok with the search engines , is it a good move

What do you think?

 

Yea thats not going to be a problem and will be perfectly fine

 

thanks a lot

 

It makes a big difference HOW you redirect. For example if you use something like a javascript redirect, a search engine crawler won't follow... and therefore might not index your site properly or at all. Whereas if you use a proper HTTP response code like "moved permanently", all search engines will follow.

 

CanSpace is right. You need to do a redirect that tells the search engines that the page has been "moved permanently". Such redirects are called 301 redirects.
For help on configuring 301 redirects, you can go to http://www.affilorama.com/site-building/301-redirects where there is a lesson on how to move your pages with 301 redirects

 

thanks a lot
for all the usefull info guys

 

No problem. Have you also just considered installing wordpress in the root directory to begin with? Then you wouldn't have to bother with the redirect in the first place.

 

good info.. I try it

 

you mean the difference exists between javascript and HTTP,right?
