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

    You should be able to do a redirect through your hosting platform with a few simple clicks.

    Why not setup correct canonical tags on every page?

    That should deal with the seo side of duplicate pages.

      Can someone help me with a question on 301s? I posted in a thread but nobody seems to reply, and multiple searches really give a myriad of answers.

      If I 301 redirect a site to point to another one(for simplicity), can i still use SEO on the redirected site to keep it on top of rankings? And otherwise what are its effects(the 301) on being crawled and ranked?

    You can usually do this pretty easily via your hosting control panel.

    SFI Mike- it may take time for google to update all the link juice but it should work eventually as that is the idea of a 301 re-direct

      Thanks for the help, its much appreciated. What kind of time frame should I expect with a 301 to re-reach its rank? Any negatives to doing the 301 now as opposed to later?

    You Can redirect in your hosting panel or through .htaccess file on apache server..
    or

    Put the code on the web-page to avoid duplicate content and webpage, solve the canonical issue and set the instructions for search engine spider..

    <link rel=”canonical” href=”http://www.yourdomain.com/yourpage” />

    If you need to redirect http://mysite.com to
    http://www.mysite.com and you've got mod_rewrite enabled on
    your server you can put this in your .htaccess file:

    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]

    or this:

    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

    Tip: Use your full URL (ie http://www.domain.com) when
    obtaining incoming links to your site. Also use your full
    URL for the internal linking of your site.

    301 redirect is a issue in which is remove by htaccess code or use canonical meta tag each page of your website.
