Hi all,

Could someone please provide me with the code to implement a 301 redirect, used to prevent duplicate content, on an Apache Web server.


Thanks,

Terry

    I don't know the code but I am pretty sure 301 redirects are a basic feature offered in most hosting control panels. Snoop around yours and you should be able to find it.

    I think this is the most appropriate forum for this question:Website Design
    You will surely get many answers
    However, here is answer to your question: Google
    That is the easiest solution. htaccess can do wonders.

    So I think what you are saying is you don't want Google to see your site as Both http://domain.com and http://www.domain.com correct? Because the www is essentially considered a subdomain. I'm not sure how important this is anymore these days but the code in your htaccess would go something like this:
    Code:
    # To redirect all users to access the site WITH the www.
# (http://basic-example.com/... will be redirected to http://www.basic-example.com/...)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.basic-example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.basic-example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
    So basically what this does is if someone goes to http://basic-example.com they will get automatically redirected to http://www.basic-example.com instead.
