Just need confirmation on how 301 redirects work
- SEO |
My most-visited page is an event listing that does not exist anywhere else on the internet. It's a wordpress page, and it ranks highly for dozens of the event names, as well as more generic terms related to the niche.
My problem is that I used the year "2011" in the page title, and thus, in the URL.
I'm beginning to plan for 2012, and want to create a new page, then remove the year from the title and just have the title say "xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx Tournament Listing" without the year.
Am I correct when I say that all I need to do is add a 301 redirect in the root folder of that domain, forwarding the old page to the new page, and that I'll keep my SEO rankings (allowing some time for google to catch up)?
