301 redirect from a site to another site directory

What is the best way to 301 redirect a website to another website directory?

For example: http://www.website.com must redirect AND PASS PAGERANK to:

http://www.website2.com/blog/

Thanks

 

The best way to redirect those pages is by using something called a "301 Redirect". What this 301 redirect does, is it blatantly redirects to a different page when it is triggered. What makes the 301 redirect the best? Not only does it accomplish your redirect - it does it safely. No having to worry about the search engines penalizing you for it. To be specific, the 301 redirect tells the browser, or in other cases, it tells the search engines "Hey this page has been moved, here is the correct URL!". Think of it as you getting mail that is not addressed to your name. Possibly addressed to somebody who has lived there prior to yourself. What do you do? You tell the post man (or woman) "Hey they don't live here anymore, here is the correct address". It is the same concept, pretty simple stuff.

 

Hi thanks, yes I know that is why I have called the original first message 301 redirect.

My questions really was:

Since I see many example of code to achieve this goal, which one is the best to redirect from a website to another webside directory and not loosing PageRank in the process?

Thanks and sorry if I wasn't clear enough. I look for the best code example for the htaccess file.

 

That is another way to make a fake pagerank

 

You'll have to mess around with your .htaccess file. That'll make your domain redirect to the one you want.

Yugo,

 

No thanks, nothing fake.

 

To redirect ALL files on your domain use this in your
.htaccess file if you are on a unix web server:

redirectMatch 301 ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com
redirectMatch permanent ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com

Hope this help you in redirecting.

 

Hi thanks, finally we're getting there

Does it work also if I have to redirect to a directory. i.e.: instead of:
redirectMatch permanent ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com

I would use:
redirectMatch permanent ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/blog/

Would that work?

Thanks

 

Yes, it works. Make sure, you enter information in your .htaccess correct.

 

the .htacess redirect would be the best i guess..

 

Increasing the .htaccess is your best bet to solve this problem.

 

you can make it by the domain manager which you want to redirect. it can be from the dns control but you must check it in the help of the company which you registered the domain.
you can make it also from the htaccess file by a simple statement

 

It is the best. I just did this an it worked fine. I also used WMT address change tool.

 

I have not much great idea about it.

 

I wonder if it allows to redirect to a directory instead of main domain

 

It may do. I'm not exactly sure. If in doubt google it haha
