    Hi,


    I noticed people seem to use 2 different forms for 301 redirects:

    
RewriteRule ^page1\.htm$ page2.htm [R=[B]301[/B],L]
    Code (markup):
    And

    
RewriteRule ^page1\.htm$ page2.htm [R=[B]permanent[/B],L]
    Code (markup):
    I was just wondering if both of these form are correct?

    Also how long does it usually take for a search engine to notice the change and reassign PR?


    Thanks,

    Hodge :)

    Yes, those are both exactly the same.

    A search engine will notice it the next time it crawls. I setup a lot of redirects after converting my forum from one software to another - it took google about 4 weeks for the old URLs to drop out the SERPs though and the new ones to come in. Yahoo was a lot quicker IIRC.

    I assume the PR will be transferred whenever the next PR update occurs.
