I'm seo for a domain aaa.com and now it's ranked + good. But the domain aaa.com is hardly to remmember ( because before i seo for it, i don't think about domain name ) . So i purchase domain bbb.com and now i want to redirect it to aaa.com . I have two question want to clear and want you suggest me . 1. Which type of redirect i should using , 301 or 302 2. Can i using both of them for one content database ( if that , can i add rel="canonical" to a void duplicate content ) or have any way to decide and tell to google know two of them is ONE. Thanks everybody !!!
If you don't like the domain name aaa and want to change to bbb then point bbb to the same web as aaa and then setup a rewrite rule in mod rewrite to 301 redirect all requests for aaa to bbb... You can do this by adding something like the following to the .haccess in the root of the aaa web: Then stop building links for aaa and start building them for bbb. NOTE: During the time that it takes the search engines to recrawl all inbound links to the aaa domain, discover the 301 for each inbound link to aaa, and transfer credit for those links to bbb you WILL see a temporary drop in rankings and traffic. So be prepared. But once all of the old inbound links to aaa have been recrawled you should be good. Also you will need to leave that redirect in place forever. If you later remove it, bbb will lose credit for the links to aaa. I would HIGHLY recommend you NOT serve up the same content under aaa and bbb without 301 redirecting aaa to bbb. I'm pretty sure that the new <link rel="canonical"> element is meant to fix canonicalization WITHIN a site... not across sites. It's likely as effective across sites as a 302 redirect is across sites... i.e. NOT effective. I plan to ask Cutts about this directly at Pubcon week after next in Vegas. Not to mention that the <link rel="canonical"> element is NOT supported by all search engines... so you'll have split link juice for engines other than the big 3.
Thanks, You can also do that from your hosting panel (cpanel,direcadmin, etc...) Cpanel Under Domains Tab click Redirects Type: 301 than choose the domain you want to redirect, you can also add a folder on a domain. next - redirects to - choose the destination. click add and you're done. DirectAdmin If you are an admin so click on user level. down the page in advanced features click on site redirection leave "/" for regular redirection and if you want you can add something after. next choose 301 write the destination url and click save. basically that's it.
