301 redirects

[mxracer170]

Can someone explain 301 redirects and how effective they are. Remember keep the wording simple you’re dealing with someone who knows absolutely no html and is thick headed about learning any.

Thank you

It's actually very simple.

Open notepad. Save it as ".htaccess" file. Nothing else should be added to it's name.

In the file, type in pages you want to redirect.

Example:

redirect 301 /page001.html http://www.mysite.com/page002.html

Keep spaces as in example. First URL is your current URL. Second URL is where you want to get redirected.

Do the same for all webpages you are redirecting. Place all codes to .htaccess file and upload it to the root directory.

That's basically it

You need access to the server in order to use .htaccess. Unfortunately, you don't have this facility on hosted publishing services, such as Blogspot.

it called domain name forwarding 301 redirect. you simply tell a domain name that you are sending a visitor to a new address. only use a 301 redirect or you might get banned for search engines.
