Limit on number of 301 redirects for a website?

    I moved over my company's blog from blogger to wordpress. Previously the blog was here: domain.com/blog. Now the blog is a sub-domain: blog.domain.com.

    I know I should redirect the old URL's to the new ones. But, we already have a lot of 301's on the website. Is there any limit for 301's on a website? Is there a chance of getting penalized for lot of 301's?

    How should I redirect the blog?

    Same as what jsteele823 just told you on seochat. Too bad you changed from domain.com/blog to blog.domain.com - domain.com/blog is better ...

    There's no limit, but it might start to impact your site's performance. Try 301'ing folders over rather than individual pages if you can.

    You can use 301 redirect on any number of pages of your website. There is no limit on it and google doesn’t penalize for it.

    I think he's askling about server side limits. There are, if memory serves me correctly, but I would have to check the softwre docuentation.

    As previously stated, performance will become an issue long before software limitations are reached. Remember, the server must parse all those redirects before serving up the page.

    Okay. How is domain.com/blog better than blog.domain.com? I know with domain.com/blog, we are on the same domain and all the traffic is on the same domain. With blog.domain.com we have links to specific product pages to domain.com.

    Good idea.

    Can you please check on server side limitations?

    No, you can, unless you are willing to pay my normal hourly rate.

    Give a man a fish, and all that...

    Come on dude, I don't even know what kind of server you are operating.

    No problem you can redirect as many as pages.
