301 redirect guru needed - PLEASE
272 external links to my index page url, http://www.seviourbooks.com/ and
91 external links to another page http://www.seviourbooks.com/?hop=0
I have seen somewhere that having backlinks sent to 2 destination URLs has a negative effect on page rank.
Looking around, I read that I could use a 302 permanent redirect to forward the traffic from secondary URLs to the main one. I was thinking of doing this with a line in my .htaccess file.
My question is, where is the page http://www.seviourbooks.com/?hop=0 located? I don't see it anywhere within my domain http://www.seviourbooks.com.
I admit to ignorance about the significance of the '?' in the 'hop' URL. Can I implement the re-direct? Do I really need to?
Thanks for any guidance on this; I saw a decline in my PR a while back and wondered if the issue referred to above has something to do with it.
