Is "301 Permanent Redirection" a must ?

[casinorecommender]

And if "YES" how can we do this ? Thnx for all

How long is a piece of string?

Your question is ambiguous...Is the redirect a permanent URL /domain change or a temporary one?

If URL's, are they static or dynamic?

Provide as much information about your problem and people will be more able to assist you, because they'll have a reasonable understanding of what your wanting to achieve.

Hi Aussie and friends

Sorry for not clearing the issue. I would like to make a permanent redirection of:

www casinorecommender dot com >>> casinorecommender dot com

because of Google SEO issue. In order not to be crawled for duplicated content. As far as i know it is a 301 redirection but as i am not advanced in this area i can not give you an exact information. I have read in the forums that it can be done through modifiying DNS settings. My url is

Thanks a lot for your valuable help

It's not essential to do this, but its certainly better for SEO purposes. In nearly all cases, both versions of your website http:// and http://www will have links pointing to them. Its better to redirect the weaker version to the stronger one (the version with more links)

Before you do this, you should always check in Google which version it has already chosen for you e.g. site:website.com.

If the results come back as Google having indexed your pages as www, then you should redirect http:// to www. If the opposite is true (Google has indexed your pages as http://yourdomain.com, then you should redirect from www to http://.

For your example, you will have to insert the following code into your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.casinorecommender.com
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://casinorecommender.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Good luck

Hi Mate,

As Michael has pointed out this is the best way to accomplish:

For your example, you will have to insert the following code into your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.casinorecommender.com
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://casinorecommender.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

If however your changing a URL of the same domain.

You would use a 301. EG (exclude yyy):
redirect 301 /somepagename.html to yyyhttp://www.casinorecommender.com/anotherpagename.html

Can also be used for:
redirect 301 /somepagetcategory/ to yyyhttp://www.casinorecommender.com/anotherpagcategory/

You can also use a 301 to change to another domain:
redirect 301 yyyhttp://www.casinorecommender.com/ to yyyhttp://www.yournewdomain.com

I use this but some servers I've used require the trailing slash yyyhttp://www.yournewdomain.com/
For some reason without the "/" it produces a 500 internal error.


Cheers
