httaccess 301 help

how to redirect from

Code (markup):

to

http://www.unitedpunjab.co.uk/showthread.php?p=xxx

Code (markup):

 

Just edit the link to link to the new URL.

If you only get that after making a post, changing it won't do any good. Search engines don't make posts!!!

 

there are more than 8000 "/showthread.php?do=post_thanks_add&p=xxx" links

the links are no longer on the site but in google cache

 

Use "Robot META tags" so that those pages aren't indexed or archived by search bots.

Cryo.

 

Except you would be telling it to not crawl both types of URLs, since both types of URLs are the exact same thing.

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^showthread.php?do=post_thanks_add&p=([^.]+)$ http://www.unitedpunjab.co.uk/showthread.php?p=$1 [R=301,L]

might do it.

 

Thanks much cyrogenius and nintendo.
Disallow: /showthread.php?do=post_thanks* in the robots.txt is worked for me.
