301 Redirect From Dynamic Page To Static
-
I want to 301 redirect all "id" and "type" numbers from my page dynamic.php page (I have thousands of IDs and thousands of Types) all to a single URL.
So for example the following....
www.mysite.com/dynamic.php?id=1&type=5
www.mysite.com/dynamic.php?id=2&type=5
www.mysite.com/dynamic.php?id=3&type=5
www.mysite.com/dynamic.php?id=1&type=6
www.mysite.com/dynamic.php?id=2&type=6
www.mysite.com/dynamic.php?id=3&type=6
...would all be sent to:
How can this be done without doing a redirect for each ID/Type?
-
I figured it out!
RedirectMatch 301 /dynamic.php(.*) https://www.mysite.com/page.htm
-
If you're after redirecting mysite.com/page?id?=xyz to mysite.com/page the you can use RegEx in your .htaccess file to automatically does it for any variation of ID and TYPE.
I'm not particularly technical so that's all I can offer but I'd love to see what other responses you get back.

301 Redirect Question
I am working with a website and I ran a Screaming Frog and noticed there are 4,600 301's on the website (www.srishoes.com). It seems like the issue is between the www. and without it and they aren't working together. Is this something that the website provider should update and what type of impact might this have on the site? Thanks!

Soft 404's on a 301 Redirect...Why?
So we launched a site about a month ago. Our old site had an extensive library of health content that went away with the relaunch. We redirected this entire section of the site to the new education materials, but we've yet to see this reflected in the index or in GWT. In fact, we're getting close to 500 soft 404's in GWT. Our development team confirmed for me that the 301 redirect is configured correctly. Is it just a waiting game at this point or is there something I might be missing? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

.ASPX extension - individual redirects per page or....?
We have a few pages that have visible .aspx extensions. I am not as concerned with them showing as I am with the following: https://www.example.com/company.aspx - goes to Company page
Technical SEO | | MichaelEka
https://www.example.com/company - goes to homepage (should go to company page) My dev tells me that the only way to get these two pages to go to the same place would be to set up individual redirects. Is he right? That seems like it could be detrimental to SEO. Is there other code to manage this? Thanks folks.0 -
301 redirects - an ongoing argument in our agency
ok fellow marketers. we have an on-going argument in our office regarding 301 redirects. for seo best practices, should a 301 be done at the registrar level or in the htaccess file. We have arguments going both ways and I'd love to hear what everyone has to say about it. Thanks, Stephan

301 redirect from root to /index.aspx
I have taken over the SEO for www.domain.net. The way i've inherited the setup is that www.domain.net is 301 redirected to www.domain.net/index.aspx Looking at top pages and linking root domains in Opensiteexplorer I can see that www.domain.net/index.aspx has 1,006 linking root domains www.domain.net has 806 linking root domains. I assume that www.domain.net is passing the value of it's 806 domain links to www.domain.net/index.aspx via the 301 redirect and because of this would expect www.domain.net/index.aspx to be the strongest page on the site and be the url that ranks in the listings for many relevant searches. It appears however that www.domain.net is what is shown in listings and not www.domain.net/index.aspx ?? Can anyone explain why this might be?? If I do a site: search in Google then www.domain.net is indexed and not www.domain.net/index.aspx ??

How to safely reduce the number of 301 redirects / should we be adding so many?
Hi All, We lost a lot of good rankings over the weekend with no obvious cause. Our top keyword went from p3 to p12, for example. Site speed is pretty bad (slower than 92% of sites!) but it has always been pretty bad. I'm on to the dev team to try and crunch this (beyond image optimisation) but I know that something I can effect is the number of 301 redirects we have in place. We have hundreds of 301s because we've been, perhaps incorrectly, adding one every time we find a new crawl error in GWT and it isn't because of a broken link on our site or on an external site where we can't track down the webmaster to fix the link. Is this bad practice, and should we just ignore 404s caused by external broken URLs? If we wanted to reduce these numbers, should we think about removing ones that are only in place due to external broken URLs? Any other tips for safely reducing the number of 301s? Thanks, all! Chris

301-redirect
Hi My website is fairly new and i wasnt aware of the difference btw 'website.com' and 'www.website.com' when i started up. It doesnt matter which one i use as long as i am consistent right ? Most of my ingoing links are to mainpage on 'website.com'. I have som ingoing links to 'www.website.com' but also some to 'www.website.com/brandname'. is it enough to 301-redir 'www.website.com' to 'website.com' or does it need to be done on several levels ? I need to have someone do the redirect for me - how can i check its working when its done ? Dan Lærum
