What is the most SEO friendly url redirection

IS it .htaccess or meta tag url redirection

 

.htaccess file is best for seo

 

where will place the site map. I placed a sitemap in the root and the destination dir

 

.htaccess is favorable for url redirection as well as it is user friendly too for seo..

 

if you're immediately redirecting, there's no point having the sitemap on the root, unless you're only redirecting specific pages/visitors.

and you want a 301 for real seo benefit. 302 tells the SE's hey go to this other site for the time being. 301 says "i've moved so take all the good things I have going for me (including sites linking to me) and point all that goodness at this new location."

 

use 301 permenant redirect, don't even think about using 302, it is a like a way to tell google " punish me plz"

 

Thanks for the tip
