Redirect 301
-
Hi,
I `m redirecting some pages in htaccess
The first 15 pages that i redirected it worked. But the last 3 dont work, and i cant figure it out why it is not working.
Redirect 301 /analyseverktoy/ /webanalyse
Redirect 301 /index.php/ledige-stillinger/ /
Redirect 301 /?page_id=352/ /Anu suggestions?
-
And when you look at the final URLs in the address bar of your browser, do these URLs that return 404 errors correspond to the URLs you set up with the Redirect rule?
Usually when your redirects are messed up you get 500 Internal Server errors, not 404 errors.
Maybe the problem is not in how you defined the redirects in the .htaccess file, but you are choosing the incorrect URLs to redirect to.
-
I get a 404. page not found.
The strange part is that some are working and the other ones are not.
-
If you defined the redirect rules correctly and some works and some don't check if these new defined rules don't conflict with others previously declared. What errors do you get?
-
Any suggestions why it does not work or how we can fiks it?
-
Thanx, one of them is working...but the other ones stil dont work....
Working: Redirect 301 /index.php/ledige-stillinger/ http://mysite.com/
Not Working:
Redirect 301 /?page_id=352/ http://mysite.com/
Redirect 301 /googleanalitycskurs/ http://mysite.com/googleanalyticskurs
Redirect 301 /sokemotoroptimalisering-tips/ http://mysite.com/sokemotoroptimaliseringtips/Thank you for the advice.
-
That's exactly how I do mine. The full URL is what you are missing. You need the http:// in it.
-
It doesn't work because you are not doing it correctly
The Redirect command has 3 parameters:
1. The redirect type (in your case 301)
2. The location of the file/directory you want redirected relative to the root of your site
3. the full URL of the location you want that request sent toYou are mistaken the third parameter, because you are not putting there the full path. You should put something like this:
Redirect 301 /analyseverktoy/ http://www.yoursite.com/webanalyse
Redirect 301 /index.php/ledige-stillinger/ http://www.yoursite.com/
Redirect 301 /?page_id=352/ http://www.yoursite.com/

Can 301 redirects that are inaccurate cause Google suppressions on rankings?
In an interesting study by DeganSEO titled 'Negative Impact of 301 Redirects - A Case Study' a drop of rankings was observed when popular blog posts were redirected to product pages. One hypothesis is that the suppression is due to topical difference between the redirected pages (blog posts) and the target page. The topical difference issue is an interesting one when you consider it in the context of website migrations. We always recommend that 301 redirects are done at a page level and that if an equivalent page doesn't exist to just 301 anyway but to the most logical page. If you think about it Google are likely to frown on this because a) it's not a good experience for the user - 404 would be more accurate for them

b) it's lazy - if you have good content that has gained authority/trust then create the same content on the new site don't trytp pass that to an entirely different page. Thoughts? Experiences?0 -

301 Redirected url to new subdomain, now the rank appears to be completely gone...
In an attempt to not feel bad for not blogging, I set up a new subdomain on my site to have a "coming soon" style page and "best of" section for my blog and video show properties. All the pages on the relaunch subdomain are done in Unbounce. http://relaunch.tommy.ismy.name The idea was that I would then take the pages on my regular domain, and one by one create landing pages that test out new design ideas (instead of going into full production web design) and redirect the traffic from the top ranked pages to the new, redesigned pages. At first, I set up the 301 through a plugin in wordpress and for the first week or so it was great. As far as I know, I did set my canonical tags up properly on that page too. However, just a couple days ago, I wasn't getting the same traffic, and my top ranked keyword that accounts for over half my traffic is nowhere to be found in at least the first 15 pages of search results. Which stinks, because I've maintained that rank for well over 2 years 😞 Clearly, something I did wasn't liked by Google, and I wonder, what did I do "wrong" and is there anything I could do to get that rank back?

What redirect code (301,302,303) should I use for pages that are available only for logged in users?
If for example they go to a page like /premium-content, they will be automatically redirected (302) to the login page. Because now I do a 302 redirect, in Google Webmaster Tools it sais I have duplicate title issues for each of the pages that are accessible only for the logged in users. If I would do a 301 redirect, I basically tell Google that those pages are moved, but it is not the case because logged in users will see those pages.

301 redirects from old to new pages whit a lot of changes
Hello all, We are going to restyle and change CMS so all the urls will change. We are also updating content, adding much more content to the old pages trying to be more user and SEO friendly. My doubt is about doing 301 redirects from old to new pages when the content has changed a lot. Does it will mantain the ranking of the page or will crawlers thought that is a total diferent page. For example: one page new page will change from the old one the url, title, headers, meta description, content text and images. Should i maintain old content and do the CMS change with the 301 redirects and later change the content, that means a lot of work, or do it all at once? Thanks in advance Tomas

Should I 301 Redirect Old Pages to Newer Ones?
I know there is value having lots of unique content on our websites, but I'm wondering how long it should be kept for, and if there is any value in 301 redirecting it? So, for example we have a number of pages on our website that are dedicated to single products (blue widget x, blue widget y, red widget x, red widget y). Nice unique content, with some (but not many) links. These products are no longer available though and have been replaced. So I'm faced with three choices: 1. Leave it as it is, and hope it adds to the overall site authority (by value of being another page), and also perhaps mop up a few longer tail keywords. Add a link to the replacement product on these pages; 2. 301 redirect these pages to the replacement products to give these a bit of a boost, and lose the content; 3. 301 redirect these pages to the replacement products and move all the old content to a new 'blue widgets archive' and 'red widgets archive' page? Would appreciate everyones thoughts!
