**Be carefull if amending the htaccess file. **
Make a back-up of it before you change anything. Test one redirect to make sure its working before you go ahead and add multiple redirects to the file.

Moosa is right, again, if using wordpress install the yoast SEOplugin: http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/
As well as enabling you to handle your on page seo, you can also handle your redirects and robots.txt files through the plugin.

Nakul, is right but also if you are using the wordpress then instead of going in to .htaccess use the redirection plugin!

Best solutions for this is 301 redirect. If you don't need those page any further, you can simply delete those files from server and can redirect all the old/deleted pages to the new relevant pages with the help of .HTACCESS file or server side redirection (if you're not comfortable with the .htaccess coding)
You just need to enter the following code in .htaccess file:
Redirect 301 /old/oldpage.htm http://www.domain.com/newpage.htm(new page)
Once done, make sure to update your sitemaps (HTML, XML and TXT)
Hope this helps!

Sure. Here you go. I used your example of redirecting old page to new page.
Redirect 301 /products.php http://www.bxxxxxseo.com/product_list.php
-
Thank you Where can i find 301 redirect .htaccess codes relevant to my problem ? there are many in that web but these are not clear for me .
-
Delete the old pages and setup 301 redirects from the old pages to the new pages.
Make sure all your internal links are going to the new site pages only. As long as you can set the 301's, you are all set.
I hope this helps

Migrating login page from website: SEO impact
Our current login page looks like www.website.com/log-in/. We are planning to migrate it to a sub directory login.website.com. For years, our login page is the top landing with highest visits after homepage. If we migrate this now, are we going to loose traffic and drop in rankings? Thanks

Multiple redirects hurt?
In the process of website migrations and redesign, we create & replace new pages which will lead to multiple redirects unknowingly. Like: page A to page B & page B to page C. Will these kind of multiple redirects hurt? I would be happy to hear what happens with WordPress with this scenario in particular.

Page missing meta description some times a good thing?
Just courious to why http://moz.com/learn/seo does not appear to have the meta tag: name="description" content=""> Is this purposely done this way for some reason? Or has it become less important? Just curious.

Is it possible to redirect the main www. domain - but keep a subdomain active?
Hi Mozzers, Quick question, which I hope one of you can answer... Let's say I have a website (i) www.example.com and on that a subdomain exists, (ii) subdomain.example.com. Let's say I want to change my main domain from www.example.com to www.newwebsite.com. I'd 301 all content, use GWT to notify Google of a change of address etc etc. Having done that, is it still possible to keep the original subdomain active? So, even though www.example.com has been redirected / transferred to www.newwebsite.com, subdomain.example.com would still exist. If that is possible, what is the implication for Domain Authority? On the one hand, I have transferred the main site (so DA from that will transfer to the new site); but part of that root domain is still active. Make sense? Any answers? Thanks everyone...

What seo benefit does setting up a photo gallery where each photo is a separate web page?
what seo benefit does setting up a photo gallery where each photo is a separate web page? My old SEO guy set up my photo gallery like that claiming that because each photo was a separate page, it added a big seo benefit and i never understood what he was talking about. Maybe alt text on the photo with key phrases in it pointing to my other pages to give my site a theme for google? I'm not really sure. He has since moved away and i am considering redoing the photo gallery to multiple images on one page to be more user friendly to my users. This photo gallery is 3 years old and the photos might have some page rank to them helping my site so i don't want to remove this gallery if there really is a benefit to it and it will hurt my site. I once removed four static page rank 3 pages from my site that weren't used for my site anymore and my rankings dropped 5 positions. Thoughts anyone? Thanks! Ron
