Redirect domain to index page which is not in root.

I was curious what is the best way to redirect http://www.dptips.com ---> http://www.dptips.com/wp/ . I am currently using the redirect via admin panel, but it seems to have trouble indexing on google. I am open to suggestions. Thanks, Ivan

 

I am going to try using index.html with:

<script language="JavaScript">
self.location.href='/wp/index.php'
</script>

Will this "anger" search engines?

That's not search engine friendly.

You can do a 301 redirect to get there, I don't know of any other SEF way. And that javascript certainly isn't search engine friendly.

 

You're right. I played around with the htaccess file and added this instead:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?dptips\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.dptips.com/wp/$1 [R=permanent,L]

Is this way better?

Thanks
