Apologies if this is the wrong forum feel free to move if required Currently I have two domains registered and pointing at the same server/site www.babbage.biz and www.babbage.ie .ie has been around a while but the .biz was used for developing and playing with php etc. What I want to do is 301 redirect every .biz to the .ie domain I will be keeping both domains so a perpetual 301 redirect isn't a problem Will pr etc transfer from the .biz to the .ie site doing it this way? there is another domain contained in a subfolder so a blanket redirect wont work but I assume that the following is OK? RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^babbage\.biz$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.babbage.ie/$1 [R=301,L] Does google penalise for this sort of thing? Secondly and even more stupid of me Some back links point to http://babbage.biz, others to http://www.babbage.biz and even others to http://www.babbage.biz/index.php and more to http://www.babbage.biz/index.html I know I know but its done now so......... I am guessing that this will dilute page rank as google sees these all a seperate pages. Is ther anyway of redirecting all of these to one link without getting stuck in a loop. Is it even worth while? Thanks John
You can do a 301 redirect in an .htaccess file from all of those pages to whichever you want to use now.
Problem is the default in the conf file is index.php If I redirect www.babbage.ie/index.php to www.babbage.ie/ then the conf sets it back to www.babbage.ie/index.php and on and on Or am I talking out of the wrong end (again) John
