301 redirect...

This may be going over old ground, but can someone explain to me how to, or what is the easiest way to do a 301 re-direct on one domain to another.

Thanks in advance!

 

.htaccess 301 redirect

 

Sorry that means nothing to me, Could you explain please?


Thanks

 

Based on you question and reply to the first respone,

Open your cPanel, click on redirects, fill in the boxes, check permanet, click the ADD button and then verify that it is working the way you want it to work.

Have another control panel? The process is about the same.

Have a great day.

 

Is this method a 301 redirect?

Thanks

 

Yes, if you choose the Permanent option in cpanel.

 

In case of doubt, check it with the tool in my signature after you applied the changes.

Thanks everyone!

Job done and confirmed by Jean-Luc great tool.

 

Please follow these steps:
(1) Open your notepad
(2) Write following line: redirect 301 oldpage.htm http://www.domain.com/newpage.htm
(3) Save it as ".htaccess"
(4) Upload at server

That's it.

 

if you are doing a few 301 redirects to one particular page. can all the pages be hosted on the same server?

 

Sure, all the pages can be hosted on the same server.

 

how long does it take for something like this to start seeing results in SERPs? Also if i have a page ranking high for x keyword, and think its content is enough to build a new site around, will the 301 pass the ranking to the new site? For example:

redirect pagetobemoved.htm (currently ranking #3 in G for good keyword) http://www.newsitebasedaroundkeyword.com/

Will the content have to be identical to get the green light?

 

"how long does it take for something like this to start seeing results in SERPs?" The result will start seeing in serps as soon as search engine indexed the page and updated serps.

301 passes the pagerank and not serps position (i think)

The content need not to be identical to get the green light.
