Redirect

How do I redirect this url:
Thank you for your help.
-
Hi Keri, you just pushed me to go forward with that problem. Yes, Mike's suggestion works perfect!
-
Hi Mike, sorry for my delayed answer (I have been on holiday in between an this means always busy time before and after... and this item was not the most important one. The problem with my mentioned redirect above has been that it worked, BUT the image itself (which is of course in use on the website) was not visible any more.
And your solution works perfect - I just tried it out. Thank you

Petra, did this work for you?

So I think you are trying to redirect a query parameter request to your home page, right? So that this:
/m/imgres?q=short+holiday+treatments
is redirected to this:
/
Correct? If so, try this:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.)short+holiday+treatments(.)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /? [R=301,L] -
Right .. sorry:
~img/head/beauty-spa.jpg%22%20width=%22114%22%20height=%2250%22%20alt=%22image%22/%3E%3C/a%3E%20%3C/div%3E%20%3Cdiv%20class=%22c0%20r%22%3E%3Ca%20href=%22/m/imgres?q=short+holiday+treatments~
I am looking for something like that:
RewriteRule ^img/head/beauty-spa.jpg(.)$ / [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^q=short+holiday+treatments$
RewriteRule (.) /? [R=301,L]But it ain't work
-
the sample code you posted comes through as a whole code fragment with unpaired tags. If you post it between curly braces it should show up better here. Are you looking for the syntax of the regular expression for your case, or something else?
-
Hi Mike - I know this already ;-).
I am asking for that special case.
But thank you for your time.

Normally redirects are done in the .htaccess file of your site, using a RewriteRule. Something like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^old.html$ new.htmlGoogle it and you'll find more examples.

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.

Is there a tool to see all redirects?
I'm thinking this is a silly question, but I've never had to deal with it I thought I'd ask. Ok is there a tool out there that will show all the redirects to a domain. I'm working on a project that I keep stumbling on urls that redirect to the site I'm studying. They don't show up in Open Site or ahrefs as linking domains, but they keep popping up on me. Any thoughts?

Do I need Redirects?
I've recently changed my old static website to a WordPress one. I'd like to know what do do (if anything) about my old links. For example a page on my old site was: www.iainmoran.com/corporate-magician.html - now I'm using WordPress, the url is:
Technical SEO | | iainmoran
www.iainmoran.com/corporate-magician/ My question is, do I need to set up redirects on these old pages (which no longer exist or will Google eventually re-crawl my site and update the links themselves? I'm using the Yoast SEO Plugin for WP and it creates a sitemap, which of course will have my new pages on. But don't want Google to penalise me for having broken links, etc. Many thanks, Iain.0 -
Redirection based on country and impact on rankings
I have a website that ranks number 1 in google.co.uk for its main key term and ranks number 4 in google.com.au. However i would rather that visitors in australia see domain.com.au rather than domain.co.uk. Is there a way to achieve this using some clever 301s without impacting the rankings in australia and so that the .com.au starts to rank in place of the .co.uk OR Would you advise launching a .com.au version of the site hosted separately with unique / re-written content on it.?

200 Redirects for SEO instead of 301
We are working with a company on re-platforming our website. On a call yesterday they outlined a strategy to use 200 redirects for our top keywords instead of 301s. I am not familiar with this type of redirect and was wondering if anyone could provide some more insight.

Redirecting /default to domain ??
Google analytics shows me that this: http://www.quicklearn.com/default.aspx is my "top content page" This page doesn't redirect to my root domain: http://www.quicklearn.com IT tells me that "/default.aspx" can not redirect to my domain. I am told: "You can only redirect deeper into the site." We have had an ongoing issue with duplicate content (that we are in the process of correcting). Anyone with experience in redirecting that can help? Any advice welcome
