How do I 301 redirect a number of pages to one page
-
I want to redirect all pages in /folder_A /folder_B to /folder_A/index.php.
Can I just write one or two lines of code to .htaccess to do that?
-
Strange.
How about something like this:
RewriteRule ^folder_B/(.*)$ /folder_A/index.php [R=301,L]I'm not an expert in RegEx or Rewrite rules, so there could be som errors in there
Good luck!

Its actually phpLD and I'm trying to do it with .htaccess.
For some reason the code below didn't work for me
RedirectMatch 301 /folder_A/folder_B/(.*) /folder_A/index.php

Nima what platform are you using?
Is it PHP or ASP? And any specific CMS?
With wordpress all you have to do is to install a redirection plugin and you are good to go... but if you have a normal php based website you have to write the following code in your .htaccess file.
Redirect 301 /oldpage.html http://www.yoursite.com/newpage.html
_ Redirect 301 /oldpage2.html http://www.yoursite.com/newpage.html_
If you are on a ASP platform you have to look in to your IIS and then work accordingly.

Hi Nima.
Is this perhaps possible to do with a RedirectMatch? Something like:
RedirectMatch 301 /folder_A/folder_B/(.*) /folder_A/index.php

301 Redirects from Subdomain to Location Pages
I have a client site that is getting redesigned. Its a multi location service provider. Currently (for whatever reason) the location pages are sub domains. https://<location-name>.site.com/ In the new design the locations will be on the main domain. https://site.com/locations/<location-name> We are considering using 301 redirects from the current sub domains to the new location pages on the main domain. The current sub domains are setup on a multi-site with A records for each one in our GoDaddy account. Would like to get feedback on any unforeseen SEO issues that anyone might have input on.

"One Page With Two Links To Same Page; We Counted The First Link" Is this true?
I read this to day http://searchengineland.com/googles-matt-cutts-one-page-two-links-page-counted-first-link-192718 I thought to myself, yep, thats what I been reading in Moz for years ( pitty Matt could not confirm that still the case for 2014) But reading though the comments Michael Martinez of http://www.seo-theory.com/ pointed out that Mat says "...the last time I checked, was 2009, and back then -- uh, we might, for example, only have selected one of the links from a given page."

Which would imply that is does not not mean it always the first link. Michael goes on to say "Back in 2008 when Rand WRONGLY claimed that Google was only counting the first link (I shared results of a test where it passed anchor text from TWO links on the same page)" then goes on to say " In practice the search engine sometimes skipped over links and took anchor text from a second or third link down the page." For me this is significant. I know people that have had "SEO experts" recommend that they should have a blog attached to there e-commence site and post blog posts (with no real interest for readers) with anchor text links to you landing pages. I thought that posting blog post just for anchor text link was a waste of time if you are already linking to the landing page with in a main navigation as google would see that link first. But if Michael is correct then these type of blog posts anchor text link blog posts would have value But who is' right Rand or Michael?0 -

Google Webmaster redirect vs 301 redirect
OK assuming a client's website has the right tracking script (hopefully analytics isn't effected by this issue), ... what happens if the htaccess file has a 301 redirect to the www-address, but within Google Webmaster Tools, the address chosen to crawl by Google is the non-www address? How will Google handle and which address takes precedence in this situation? _Cindy
