301: Dynamic URL to Static Page
-
I've been going around trying to get this dynamic url to redirect in the .htaccess file. I know I'm missing something but can't figure it out.
Code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^/dynamic-url.php?id=43$
RewriteRule ^$ http://static/page/url/inserted/here? [R=301,L]Suggestions?

Hi there,
If it's only that URL (not a group of URLs with a pattern to follow) that you need to 301-redirect then you can directly use:
RedirectMatch 301 /dynamic-url.php?id=43 http://www.yourdomain.com/static/page/url/inserted/here
If this is not the situation please let me know!
Thanks,
Aleyda

In that case try my rewrite, like this and escape your metacharacters like . / - etc..
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$
RewriteRule ^dynamic-url.php?id=43$ "http://static/page/url/inserted/here" [R=301,L]edited that I forgot to escape the - and . in dynamic-url.php

It is the first one unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working for me.

Ahh yes I know what you mean that way. I meant programatically. Are you going to go through all the urls and manually assign them a redirect or are you trying to do one rewrite for multiple urls?
If the first one you could just use the example I gave you and modify it.
Also only just noticed I see you haven't escaped your metacharacters. This an example from mine (not using dynamic urls):
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$
RewriteRule ^Old-Page.html$ "http://www.domain.com/New-Page.html" [R=301,L] -
I'm trying to take a dynamic url and redirect (301) it to a static url
dynamic: /dynamic-url.php?id=43

No sure exactly what you are trying to do...
this is something similar does it help? (from Stack Overflow)
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^route=product/category&path=35&page=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^index.php$ /product/category/35/page_%1? [R=301,L]Adam

150+ Pages of URL Parameters - Mass Duplicate Content Issue?
Hi we run a large e-commerce site and while doing some checking through GWT we came across these URL parameters and are now wondering if we have a duplicate content issue. If so, we are wodnering what is the best way to fix them, is this a task with GWT or a Rel:Canonical task? Many of the urls are driven from the filters in our category pages and are coming up like this: page04%3Fpage04%3Fpage04%3Fpage04%3F (See the image for more). Does anyone know if these links are duplicate content and if so how should we handle them? Richard I7SKvHS

Added 301 redirects, pages still earning duplicate content warning
We recently added a number of 301 redirects for duplicate content pages, but even with this addition they are still showing up as duplicate content. Am I missing something here? Or is this a duplicate content warning I should ignore?

Would these be considered dynamic URLs?
Hi, I have a (brand) new client (outdoor recreation), and it links to many different lodges. It's built in Wordpress (Pagelines), and the partner page link URLs. Although they do have the "?" in there, it's only has a single parameter. http://www.clientsite/?partners=partner-name Google is indexing the URLs, I do plan to increase the amount of content/on-page for each. Yet, weighing the risk/reward of rewriting all of these URLs.

According to 1 of my PRO campaigns - I have 250+ pages with Duplicate Content - Could my empty 'tag' pages be to blame?
Like I said, my one of my moz reports is showing 250+ pages with duplicate content. should I just delete the tag pages? Is that worth my time? how do I alert SEOmoz that the changes have been made, so that they show up in my next report?

301 redirects and Dynamic URLs
I just ran my first diagnostic and one of my primary immediate problems are duplicate titles and duplicate content. My guess it that because the root URL http://sitename.com (which has not yet been redirected to www...) has generated an entire tree of content which is identical to the tree rooted at http://www.sitename.com. QUESTION: Do I need to do a redirect simply for the root url (sitename.com -> www.sitename.com) or do I now need to develop specific 301 redirects for each of the sub-nodes/pages? ie sitename.com/?q=about-us -> www.sitename.com/?q=about-us sitename.com/?q=our-team -> www.sitename.com/?q=our-team etc.
