Redirect One Page of a Website to a New Domain

10 replies
One of my clients wants to redirect only one page of their website to a different domain. Would this be good from SEO point of view?
What would be the steps to do this?
I searched everywhere on Google but didn't find anything relevant to this.

    Here are a couple of different things you could try...

    Add a code to your .htacces file


    Create a php file, add a code to it
    Then upload the new php file to your public_html folder


    As far as how redirects effect SEO, I'm not sure,

    but the second link gives some information on that.

    If not you may want to try your question in a google search.


    Hope this helps

    I am not sure why your client want. May be the page has good traffic, and he wants show more relevant content. One more thing its not a good SEO practice.

    here is your steps to get it done.
    You can use this particular code in the header section.
    <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="1; url=http://domain.com/">

    Hi neharai093,
    If you redirect the page to different Domain only if the page is relevant. Otherwise, it will increase your bounce rate, which will lower the ranking.
    Although Google is very smart in identifying this type of false pages.
    Though you can redirect using this

    In WordPress, this is very simple. You just need to change the URL of the page

    I am not sure of how you can go about redirecting the page, but I am certain that if the page has high traffic and is redirected to a relevant site, you are bound to achieve good results.

    Moving your website to a new domain can be a daunting but necessary process. Whether you're moving your site for a rebrand, consolidation or you've simply got your hands on a better domain, you should be thinking about your SEO.

    An .HTACCESS file:
    301 Redirect an entire website domain:
    Redirect 301 / http://example.com/
    NOTE: This maps old pages to new pages 1 to 1... If the new page doesn't exist on the new site, you will get 404 errors. So, be careful with this common redirect.
    301 Redirect an entire website domain to a single page:
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.example.com/index.html [L,R=301]
    301 Redirect a page to a sub-folder:
    Redirect /index.html For Example https://www.viftech.com/custom-softw...ment-services/
    301 Redirect a page to a new website page:
    Redirect /oldfile.html http://example.com/newfile.html

    Maybe you even purchased a few domains you want to redirect to your site, ... A website redirect will take one website URL and point it to another. ... in or clicks on that original URL they'll be taken to the new page or website.

    You need to understand that SEO is affected by many things and one of those things is page load time and reloads. Since the purpose of the redirect is not mentioned, can not guide what steps would be convenient for you.

    Redirection of a webpage to another domain definitely affects the ranking on Google. How? let me explain you. The thing is that when you redirect a web page to another domain and if it is not related with your niche then the bounce rate of your website increases because visitor can't find the relevant information and it is not good for your website SEO. Then it better not to redirect a web-page to another domain if it is not much important. And if it is important the must check that the particular domain is relevant to your niche or not.

    I thought your client has good backlinking profiles and they are getting a decent amount of traffic. It's not harmful if they want to redirect page to other domain/page but remember one thing is that redirection should be minimum not exceed.
