301 Redirect

Hey !!!
I come to know from lot of people about "301 redirect" in terms of SEO? Can anyone tell me actually what is it??

[PocketSEO]

It's a type of HTTP header -- a line of text that gets sent from the server to the browser (or other type of visitor like a search engine), telling the browser what to do.

Code "301" means "permanently moved"
Code "302" is a temporary move
Code "404" is "not found"
etc.

301 redirect is the most efficient and Search Engine Friendly method for webpage redirection. It's not that hard to implement and it should preserve your search engine rankings for that particular page. If you have to change file names or move pages around, it's the safest option. The code "301" is interpreted as "moved permanently".

A server response code, meaning "page has been
permanently moved to x" A 301 redirect is commonly used
to redirect sites or individual pages in cases where a domain
or page name is changed and is usually the preferred
method of redirection by search engines

A 301 redirection is just a client side function of a web server that redirects the visitor from the current page or site to another page or site, while returning a response code that says that the original page or site has been permanently moved to the new location.
