    A 301 is an HTTP Status Code that tells a requesting user agent that the resource requested has been permanently moved to a new location. If 301 redirect is not present on the website, search engines will consider www.abc.com & abc.com as two different URL which can lead to adverse effects on Page Rank.

    So, you can implement this by using .htaccess file on the server.

    301 Redirect is a permanent redirect status indicating that the resource has moved permanently.The website at the particular URL address in question has been permanently moved to a new address, and there will no longer be any connection between the old address and the new URL address. In HTTP computer protocol, a 301 Redirect is called a response with a status code that induces a browser to arrive at a different location.

    301 redirect includes the address to which the resource has been moved. Web browsers will typically follow 301 redirects to the new location automatically, without the need for user action.In HTTP computer protocol, a 301 Redirect is called a response with a status code that induces a browser to arrive at a different location. All of these similar status codes begin with a 301.A 301 redirect is a permanent redirect. It's like a Change of Address form from the Postal Service. All traffic intended for URL A is permanently routed to URL B, and all link popularity and existing SEO value for URL A should also be transferred to URL B.

    Means page is moved permanently to the new location.
    If you do not return 301 redirect to new page, you will loose PageRank of old page.

    301 redirect is a catch phrase often used in SEO where nobody really explains how to do it. Many people feel too dumb to ask "how do I do a 301 redirect?" because they feel they should just know what one is.

    It is a mode of redirection. In this redirection we permanently redirect our web page where and whether we want.

    A HTTP 301 response code is one that is made by a server in response to a HTTP request by a user agent for a URI that has moved to a new location.

    301 redirects are used to permanently move a site to a new location. Search engines do not apply penalties to 301 redirects the way they apply them to many other types of redirects.

    HTTP Error 301 - Moved permanently
    Your Web server thinks that your URL has been permanently redirected to another URL. The client system is expected to immediately retry the alternate URL.

    301 errors in the HTTP cycle

    Any client (e.g. your Web browser or a SE robot) goes through the following cycle when it communicates with the Web server:



    • Obtain an IP address from the IP name of the site (the site URL without the leading 'http://'). This lookup (conversion of IP name to IP address) is provided by domain name servers (DNSs).
    • Open an IP socket connection to that IP address.
    • Write an HTTP data stream through that socket.
    • Receive an HTTP data stream back from the Web server in response. This data stream contains status codes whose values are determined by the HTTP protocol. Parse this data stream for status codes and other useful information.



    This error occurs in the final step above when the client receives an HTTP status code that it recognizes as '301'.

    Hi
    A 301 Redirect is a permanent redirect which passes between 90-99% of link juice (ranking power) to the redirected page. 301 refer to the HTTP status codes for this type of redirect. In most instances, the 301 redirect is the best method for implementing redirects on a website.

    301 redirect is the most efficient and Search Engine Friendly method for webpage redirection. It's not that hard to implement and it should preserve your search engine rankings for that particular page. If you have to change file names or move pages around, it's the safest option. The code "301" is interpreted as "moved permanently".

    301 Redirect is also known as permanent redirect. It is a code placed in the .php folder of your website to permanently redirect visitor from one page to another page. It should be used if you want traffic to permanently redirected to another page.

    For Example: You use 301 Redirect to move bots and visit from oldurl.com page to www.newurl.com beautiful page.
