How do I go about changing a 302 redirect to a 301.

[FrontlineMobility]

Hello Friends! Thanks for viewing my question. Ok,My question today is How do I go about redirecting a 302 link to a 301 link. I understand the benefits of doing this as far as link juice and how the Search Engines views the two Re-Directs. I am wanting to know where I would start to do this. Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions!

I was afraid it would be in the technical area instead of a magical button solving my problems. I'm not exactly sure how I am doing the redirect, however I do believe it is ASP so I will give it a try. Thanks for the Answer!

How are you doing your 302 redirect?

If it's htaccess, either just change 302 to 301

So if it looks like this - redirect 302 /oldpage http://example.com/page - just change the number

If it's applied by a rule add R=301

RewriteRule ^oldpage(.*)$ /page [L,R=301]

If it's php

header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://example.com/page");
exit();
?>

if it's asp

<%
response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"
response.addheader "location", "http://example.com/page"
response.end
%>

Double check those though, end of the day here, getting tired
