I posted a similar thread but the question I asked was not clear enough and it seems that no one responds to that thread anymore. So I will rephrase my Situation and Question : I am currently using Wordpress blog, the thing I want to do is redirect traffic from my Store page to my Amazon store. To get a visual of my problem visit my blog and click on STORE. ( http://www.kickboxingequipment.com ) , you can see that I use meta refresh redirect. Can I somehow use .htacess to directly redirect traffic ? Do you have other alternative ? Much Thanks LiQuiDicE Ps. Sorry if this looks spammy, its really not my intention.
You want to redirect that page using 301 redirect (put it in your .htaccess file) redirect 301 /old/old.htm http://www.you.com/new.htm If you asked the question in these forums HTML & Website Design, or Apache forums, you did get the answers earlier and from many people who know about it.
Meta refresh will most of the time work but it's a bad idea from an SEO perspective. Some host software lets you just enter a page redirect directly. Or you can use your .htaccess file to redirect the old page to the new.
