need some help redirecting a site i just bought here

Hey, I know this is a little off-topic but please, I need some help.

I just bought sochaotic.org and it has currently a lot of traffic coming to it from different links, search engines, etc and thats why I want to redirect every visitor which comes to the domain's homepage, or any other subpage on the domain, to be redirected to www.wowlayouts.com

since google has many subdomains for this domain listed, it gets traffic from all of them and i want all of those pages plus any other page that someone tries to access on sochaotic.org to be redirected immediatly to the homepage of www.wowlayouts.com

Please help me out, i dont really know how to do script too much either.

Thanks in advance.

 

if you redirect the pages, the search engines will index the new site instead of the old files, thus u will lose the search engine traffic that was hitting the old files.

 

thanks so much for the reply, but yea i know that, most of the traffic is coming from other links on other websites though and im not sure if they are links to the homepage or not. since if its not, then the page wont redirect. please help. thanks.

 

Look into using a .htaccess file to redirect all traffic. I'm not sure on the specifics. Search on google.

 

edit an .htaccess file in the root directory and place this:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.wowlayouts.com/ [L,R=301]
