Redirecting Incoming Links

Discussion in 'SEO' started by duzins, Dec 7, 2006.

    Is this possible? I have several good links in (problogger.net and lifehacker.com to name a few) on my deals site, duzins.com. However, the site now resides at duzins.com/shop.php which of course, has a page rank 0.

    Is a redirection of these links in possible, or is there a way to make that url (duzins.com/shop.php) actually become duzins.com?

    What's my best option here?

    I believe you can use .htaccess to make redirects on those pages, which I don't think hurt your rankings.

    Thank you both very much (rep given) but will I be redirecting the incoming links or redirecting the /shop.php to sit on the domain?

    I suppose you should be redirecting incoming links instead.

    If you redirect your duzins.com to duzins.com/shop.php the shop.php the Pagerank and search engine rank will transfer.

    Here is how you can do it:


    
    RewriteEngine On
    
    RewriteRule ^duzins/(.*)$  /shop.php/ [L,R=301]
    
    
    Code (markup):

    I don't think the above code would work exactly.

    But what do you use for your root page? index.html? index.php???

    i think editing your .htaccess page is the best way to solve your problem

    the root page is actually duzins.com/shop.php

    I wish I could just place that page on index.php but I dont' know how.
