Redirecting one page to the other.

    Hi guys I would like to know whether it is possible to redirect from one page to the other. Strangely enough one of the pages of my site has been indexed in yahoo! my old index page that I chucked last week. I now no longer have an index page because I am using the wordpress CMS to do my site and deleted it about 4 days ago. So its either wait until the page gets de-indexed or change it so that it redirects to another page.

    Funnily enough I have 0% bounce rate for this page although I am second on yahoo for this keyword and would like visitors to get the information they searched for.

    Thanks guys!

    If you have .htaccess file on your server, please set up a 301 redirect. A 301 redirect is search engine friendly and will not affect your rankings. You can check examples here

    Yes you can use 301 redirect at your root server or use .htaccess code again same at root host.

    Or goto your domain and change the option there to "URL FORWARDING".

    I did this same few months ago. My domain freetemplates4u.co.cc is now URL FORWARDED to sagarrai.com
