301 redirect problem

- I want to redirect all the pages in www.blacksburgpoker.com/gallery/ to pokereagles.com/poker-pictures/index.php

How can I do that with 301 Redirects and my htaccess file?

Thanks
Nima

 

Hey Nima.. how's it going?

So what's the gig? What are we trying to do? Curious WHY the 'index.php' instead of the directory root?

So you want all of the pages in the one directory forwarded to the root directory of the other? Not corresponding pages?

 

Somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe it is:

# Redirect to the corresponding page
RewriteEngine on
RedirectMatch 301 /gallery/(.*) http://www.pokereagles.com/poker-pictures/$1

Code (markup):

Or

# Redirect to the index.php
RewriteEngine on
RedirectMatch 301 /gallery/(.*)$ http://www.pokereagles.com/poker-pictures/index.php

Code (markup):

 

I want them directed to the directory, not the index.php itself, but i thought if I put that in, everyone would think I want them directed to corresponding page sin the new directory.

The reason for that is, I was using Gallery Menalto for my previous gallery. Now, I'm just putting pictures in pages myself with no software, and the filing of it is completely different than what i used in my last webiste

 

oddcomments,
you are my hero.
THanks

 

Awesome! I'm glad it worked for you!

 

Interesting Big N

Are U needing to redirect EACH individual page to the new corresponding ones?

Do they actually get search referrer traffic?

 

Almost all of my traffic is from Google (not much, its about 200 to 300 a day).

So I'm redirecting every page to its correspondent page as long as possible.

Cheers,
Nima

Ps. I read half of your SEO ebook. Seems good for both noobs and even higher levels. I will post a review of it once im done

 

Glad to hear it - I have had non-nOObs say they got a few tibits - so that works fer me!!

Anyways - have you got this under control now? Let me know

 

Yea, the Redirect thing is working perfect (if thats what you were asking)...

I'll be more than thankful to hear your opinion about the site in general. (both SEO and design wise)

I have another question.

Now that i have redirected all related parts of my old site to the corresponding section of the new site, I have something else to worry about:

- I want all the pages that don't have any 301 redirect associated with them, to be redirected to the homepage of the new website. Is that possible?

- If it is not possible, how can I redirect the homepage of old site to the home page of the new site (without affecting the rest of the site)
