I'm planning to redirect the following pages to one new URL/landing page:

Old URLs:

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/1

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/2

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/3

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/4

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/5

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/6

New URL:

http://www.newdomain.com/new-folder/new-page

Code in .htaccess that I will be using:

RedirectMatch 301 /folder/page/(.*) http://www.newdomain.com/new-folder/new-page

Let me know if this is correct.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

The redirection rules are working well but the landing pages are showing special parameters like the following:

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/1 TO http://www.newdomain/new-folder/new-page?cmd=divisionsMain&group=2&country=1&category=1&page=1

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/2 TO http://www.newdomain/new-folder/new-page?cmd=divisionsMain&group=2&country=1&category=1&page=2

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/3 TO http://www.newdomain/new-folder/new-page?cmd=divisionsMain&group=2&country=1&category=1&page=3

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/4 TO http://www.newdomain/new-folder/new-page?cmd=divisionsMain&group=2&country=1&category=1&page=4

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/5 TO http://www.newdomain/new-folder/new-page?cmd=divisionsMain&group=2&country=1&category=1&page=5

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/6 TO http://www.newdomain/new-folder/new-page?cmd=divisionsMain&group=2&country=1&category=1&page=6

http://www.olddomain.com/folder TO http://www.newdomain/new-folder?cmd=divisionsMain&group=2&country=1&category=1

Thanks in advance!

I responded to one of his recent queries and then he pointed me to this question that he posted long time back that has been lying without being answered.

As long as you make sure this is placed in the correct tags, it should work fine.

This question was asked nearly a month ago - how did it turn out?

Hi friend,

Yes, the code you mentioned should work the way you expect without any issues.

Best,

1st Ecommerce site got penalized, can we start a 2nd one?

Hello, A client's first site got penalized by Goolge Penguin. It has recovered through cleaning up backlinks, but not to where it was before. It is 2nd and 3rd for several money keywords, but is far less successful than before penalization. We are starting a second site. Here's the important steps to mention The new site shows up first for it's domain name, and it has 30 pages indexed. It shows up NOWHERE for our leading search term. Out other site has a blog post that is 3rd for that search term. We are using new categories and new organization. We are using a different cart solution We are adding all unique content The home pages and some of the product pages are very thorough. We are adding comprehensive products like nothing else in the industry (10X) We plan on adding a very comprehensive blog, but haven't started yet. We've added the top 100 products so far. Our other store has 500. There's a lot of spam in the industry, so sites are slow to rank. Our category descriptions are 500 words Again, all unique content. No major errors in Moz Campaign tools Just a few categories so far, we're going to add many more. Same Google Analytics account as our other site It looks like we should eventually be on page 3 for our major search term. Again, we're nowhere for anything right now. ... Have you seen that Google will not rank a second site because it's from the same company and Google Analytics account, or does Google let you rank 2 sites in the same industry? We are hoping it's just slow to rank. If you can rank 2 sites, what are your best recommendations to help show up? Thanks.

URL Masking or Cloaking?

Hi Guy's, On our webshop we link from our menu to categories were we want to rank on in Google. Because the menu is sitewide i guess Google finds the categories in the menu important and meaby let them score better (onside links) The problem that i'm facing with is that we make difference in Gender. In the menu we have: Man and Woman. Links from the menu go to: /categorie?gender=1/ and /category?gender=2/. But we don't want to score on gender but on the default URL. For example: Focus keyword = Shoes Menu Man link: /shoes?gender=1 Menu Woman link: /shoes?gender=2 But we only want to rank on /shoes/. But that URL is not placed in the menu. Every URL with: "?" has a follow noindex. So i was thinking to make a link in the menu, on man and woman: /shoes/, but on mouse down (program it that way) ?=gender. Is this cloaking for Google? What we also could do is make a canonical to the /shoes/ page. But i don't know if we get intern linking value on ?gender pages that have a canonical. Hope it makes senses 🙂 Advises are also welcome, such as: Place al the default URL's in the footer.

Vanity URLs Canonicalization

Hi, So right now my vanity URLs have a lot more links than my regular homepage. They 301 redirect to the homepage but I'm thinking of canonicalizing the homepage, as well as the mobile page, to the vanity URL. Currently some of my sites have a vanity URL in a SERP and some do not. This is my way of nudging google to list them all as vanity but thought I would get everyone's opinion first. Thanks!

Canonical tags being direct to "page=all" pages for an Ecommerce website

I find it alarming that my client has canonical tags pointing to "page=all" product gallery pages. Some of these product gallery pages have over 100 products and I think this could effect load time, especially for mobile. I would like to get some insight from the community on this, thanks!

Blogger relationship - One Off VS periodic monthly blogging (which is best)

Good day all, I am interested in building relationships with my bloggers (i.e...people that are interested in my website and blog about it regularly). I would also propose to them the idea of blogging about our page regularly, perhaps recurring monthly. If the strategy is in place, could receiving links from the same bloggers each month cause any negative SEO effects? Thanks for your input.

Why do websites use different URLS for mobile and desktop

Although Google and Bing have recommended that the same URL be used for serving desktop and mobile websites, portals like airbnb are using different URLS to serve mobile and web users. Does anyone know why this is being done even though it is not GOOD for SEO?
