Are asp redirects permanent?
-
I need to redirect a windows-hosted domain with permanent (301) redirects so as to preserve most of the link juice.
I would be using asp page-level redirects, as there are only about 50 relevant pages.
Are these as effective as linux-based 301 redirects in conserving link juice?

Follow up question --- not sure if I understand the entire situation discussed above, but I have a situation where a site that was ASP.net has been replaced with a WordPress site. I've performed a Open Link analysis and found that most of the old pages, ie
www.i3bus.com/ProductCategorySummary.aspx?ProductCategoryId=63
are returning a HTTP Status = NO DATA ... when followed ends up at the 404 catch-all page.
I'd like to perform 301 redirects and wondering if your solution above applies?
Thanks for any help.

Yes, they are! You need to do it like this:
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
' Permanent redirection
Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location", "http://www.example.com/"
Response.End
%>If you use Response.Redirect instead of Response.Status, it won't return a 301 (permanent redirect) header, it will return a 302 (temporary redirect) header instead.
Other permanent redirect methods are PHP, ColdFusion, Perl, and mod_rewrite. JavaScript and meta tag redirects cannot send a 301 status code.
Hope this helps!

Should we set up redirects for all deleted TAGS?
We recently found our site had 65,000 tags (yes 65K). In an effort to consolidate these we've started deleting them. MOZ is now reporting a heap of 404 errors for tag pages. These tag pages should not have links to them so not sure how come they're being crawled. Any suggestions from experience in this area would be useful.

HTacess 301 redirect with special characters
Hello moz community ! I would to make a special 301 redirection through my htaccess file. I am a total noob concerning regexp and 301 redirection. I would like to redirect(301) this url : http://www.legipermis.com/stages-points/">http://www.legipermis.com/stages-points/</a></p>; yes yes it's in the index of google, this strange url includes the last ; to http://www.legipermis.com/stages-points/ I have already include a canonical tag by security, i would like to remove url with a 301 redirection and by remove this url through GWT (but the removal tool can't "eat' this kind of URL) Please consider the fact that i am not an expert about 301 redirections and regexps. No 301 redirect generator works properly for such a strange URL (which triggers content duplication corrected anyway with canonical tag). Thanks for your help.

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?

Question about Hm Pg Redirects
This question is for MichaelC who was helping me with a previous question that is now closed. Please refer to my question with Subject "Double 301 Redirect" It was about redirecting /home.aspx to simply "/" because that was an old URL and we have some backlinks pointing to it. If the best I could do is redirect "/home.aspx" to something like "#hm", would that work, since everything after the hash symbol is ignored? Thanks Clint
