how to make 301 redirrect so pr will be transfered

ok guys i read on several websites that if you put a 301 redirect on your website wich has pr(eg:4) the pagerank will be transfered.

wich is the best way to do this?
using php or using .htaccess?
in aprox how much time will the pr be transfered?
thanx

 

Place some code into your .htaccess file.

 

well i would appreciate if you could help me out with that some code :\

 

Redirect 301 /old/old.htm http://www.you.com/new.htm

Code (markup):

 

ok so if i want to redirect mysite.com to mypage.com, i need to put the redirect like this:

Redirect 301 index.php http://www.mypage.com/index.php

Code (markup):

or

Redirect 301 index.php http://www.mypage.com

Code (markup):

thanx

 

Either is OK IMO.But you'd better put a "/" before "index.php".

 

Hello slayer i remeber Dp have great 301 redirect thread. you can use search function for this.

 

For redirecting the entire site you need to put this in the .htaccess and then put this .htaccess in the root folder of your old site.

Redirect 301 / http://www.newsite.com

Code (markup):

 

and how much time do i need to keep the redirect?

 

What is the code to add in case you applied friendy URLs on word press blog and want to redirect the old format blog/?p=1 to blog/friendly-url.html

 

Options FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
# RewriteBase /
redirectMatch 301 ^(.*)$ http://www.englishinformation.net
redirectMatch permanent ^(.*)$ http://www.englishinformation.net

if you add this to your .htaccess , you all pages will redirected to www.englishinformation.net

 

an other silly question....
once pr is transfered can i put back everything like it was?(sorry for my stupid q's but im kinda noob @ seo)

 

I've been wondering about this as I might change the domain of my personal site. It's my name right now, but that doesn't really help me in the search engines.

Thanks for the info, I'll dig around for some more and maybe try this out. I don't want to loos the good PR I've built up, or all the SE Results.

 

other question
if i redirect only the index will the pr from other pages be trasfered also?
