How to redirect my .com/blog to my server folder /blog ?
-
Hello SEO Moz !
Always hard to post something serious for the 04.01 but anyway let's try !
I'm releasing Joomla websites website.com, website.com/fr, website.com/es and so on.
Usually i have the following folders on my server
- [ROOT]/com
- [ROOT]/com/fr
- [ROOT]/com/es
However I would like to get the following now (for back up and security purpose).
- [ROOT]/com
- [ROOT]/es
- [ROOT]/fr
So now what can I do (I gues .htaccess) to open the folder [ROOT]/es when people clic on website.com/es ?
It sounds stupid but I really don't know.
I found this on internet but did not answer my needs.
.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(^/fr/.) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.)$ /sites/fr/$1 [L,R=301]Tks a lot !

somewhere on your root folder you will have a .htaccess file
.htaccess is a small server file that you can put conditions in. some conditions will redirect to a "new" location (your new folders) when the .htaccess detects a url to an "old" location. this is commonly called "mod rewrite".
the software used to issue these commands varies based on your web site host. contact them and ask them what rewrite/redirection software is on your account (for example, one common one is ISAPI rewrite:

What is the best practice to seperate different locations and languages in an URL? At the moment the URL is www.abc.com/ch/de. Is there a better way to structure the URL from an SEO perspective?
I am looking for a solution for using a new URL structure without using www.abc.com**/ch/de** in the URL to deliver the right languages in specific countries where more than one language are spoken commonly. I am looking forward to your ideas!

Does http://my.dudamobile.com/ Effect SEO
Hi, Hope everyone is enjoying the new year! I was wondering if converting your desk top website to a mobile one, example via http://my.dudamobile.com/, has any negative effects on SEO. Did it effect your site? Do you recommend doing it? Does it effect links? When people link to your desk top URL does that authority carry to the mobile, or would it be better if they link to the mobile (m.website.com) URL? Is http://my.dudamobile.com/ a good choice? Any feedback, as always, is greatly appreciated! Thanks Jimmy

Redirecting over-optimised pages
Hi One of my clients websites was affected by Penguin and due to no 'bad link' messages, and nothing really obvious from the backlink profile, I put it down to over-optimisation on the site. I noticed a lot of spammy pages and duplicate content, and submitted recommendations to have these fixed. They dragged their heels for a while and eventually put in plans for a new site (which was happening anyway), but its taken quite a while and is only just going live in a couple of weeks. My question is, should I redirect the URLs of the previously over-optimised pages? Obviously the new pages are nice and clean and from what I can tell there are no bad links pointing to the URLs, so is this an acceptable practice? Will Google notice this and remove the penalty? Thanks

301 redirect Issues
my clients site is www.greenbayharvest.co.uk When you enter that URL it redirects to www.greenbayharvest.co.uk/shop, dont ask why, thats the way they set it up and thats what im stuck with. So, how do i resolve the 301 issue here. we want all things to point to www.greenbayharvest.co.uk, in terms of SEO but does the fact that there is a redirect going to /shop make this an issue? we appear to have: www.greenbayharvest.co.uk/shop www.greenbayharvest.co.uk greenbayharvest.co.uk greenbayharvest.co.uk/shop all these URL's go to the same same page so what is the best way to correct this? thanks for any help on this Lee
