When you do a 301 redirect will the url change in the browser, or will only the search engine know the difference? My .htaccess file looks like this right now: #I'm trying to get rid of the /?=node part Redirect 301 /?q=node http://www.domain.com When I try to see if the 301 has worked by searching for that page through an SE I still get the same url, not the new url.
Everybody, SE's and people, should only see the new url. If you are not being redirected when entering the old url in your browser it means the 301 isn't set up correctly.
Ok. So my code looks like this: Redirect 301 /?q=node http://www.domain.com Do you notice anything wrong with this? (obviously the www.domain.com is changed to my domain) I'm using the information from this site: http://www.internetbasedmoms.com/seo/301-redirect.html
Actually... I got the 301 redirect to work on one of my other sites. Maybe it won't work with this /?=node .
