What is URL Redirection

Hello Guys,


Can any one of you explain about URL Redirection and how many types URL Redirections are there.


Thanks,

 

URL Redirection means "pointing a web page to another URL of your choice"..

Basic URL Redirection Types

* Permanent redirection: 301
* Temporary redirection: 302
* Redirection: 303
* Gone status code: 410

 

what's the difference in all these redirection?

 

URL redirection, also called URL forwarding and the very similar technique domain redirection also called domain forwarding, are techniques on the World Wide Web for making a web page available under many URLs.

There are many types of redirection:
* 300 multiple choices (e.g. offer different languages)
* 301 moved permanently
* 302 found (originally temporary redirect, but now commonly used to specify redirection for unspecified reason)
* 303 see other (e.g. for results of cgi-scripts)
* 307 temporary redirect
* 304 not modified
* 305 use proxy

 

Types of redirection:

300 - Multiple Choices
This indicates that a resource has moved. The response will also include a list of locations from which the user agent can select the most appropriate.

301 - Moved Permanently
A status code of 301 tells a client that the resource they asked for has permanently moved to a new location. The response should also include this location. It tells the client to use the new URL the next time it wants to fetch the same resource. This response is cacheable unless indicated otherwise.

302 - Found
A status code of 302 tells a client that the resource they asked for has temporarily moved to a new location. The response should also include this location. It tells the client that it should carry on using the same URL to access this resource.

303 - See Other
It indicates that the response to the request can be found at the specified URL, and should be retrieved from there. It does not mean that something has moved - it is simply specifying the address at which the response to the request can be found.

304 - Not Modified
This is sent in response to a request that asked for the document only if it was newer than the one the client already had. Normally, when a document is cached, the date it was cached is stored. The next time the document is viewed, the client asks the server if the document has changed. If not, the client just reloads the document from the cache.

305 - Use Proxy
It tells the client that the requested resource has to be reached through a proxy, which will be specified in the response.

307 - Temporary Redirect
307 is the status code that is sent when a document is temporarily available at a different URL, which is also returned. There is very little difference between a 302 status code and a 307 status code. 307 was created as another, less ambiguous, version of the 302 status code.

302 temporary redirection......

 

Remember, 301 redirection is the best for SEO purposes, it passes link juice quickly from one domain to the other!

 

there are a few type of redirection but i think 301 is permanent and everyone should use it.
redirection means to direct the site to another site.
thanks

 

Its like diverting or selecting a new route through which traffic will goes on. Url redirection should be done according to the necessity.

 

redirection 301 and 302 are counted as main, 301 is for permanence redirection and preceding one is for temporary ... as the name suggest they are used to carry on your SERP's and traffic and page values to the new URL..... redirection is required when you change URL's of your web pages or website.

 

i only use the 301 redirection.. just redirect domain.com to www.domain.com

 

i think 301 redirect is the best of seo purpose

thanks
