I'm planning to redirect the following pages to one new URL/landing page:

Old URLs:

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/1

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/2

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/3

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/4

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/5

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/6

New URL:

http://www.newdomain.com/new-folder/new-page

Code in .htaccess that I will be using:

RedirectMatch 301 /folder/page/(.*) http://www.newdomain.com/new-folder/new-page

Let me know if this is correct.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

The redirection rules are working well but the landing pages are showing special parameters like the following:

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/1 TO http://www.newdomain/new-folder/new-page?cmd=divisionsMain&group=2&country=1&category=1&page=1

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/2 TO http://www.newdomain/new-folder/new-page?cmd=divisionsMain&group=2&country=1&category=1&page=2

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/3 TO http://www.newdomain/new-folder/new-page?cmd=divisionsMain&group=2&country=1&category=1&page=3

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/4 TO http://www.newdomain/new-folder/new-page?cmd=divisionsMain&group=2&country=1&category=1&page=4

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/5 TO http://www.newdomain/new-folder/new-page?cmd=divisionsMain&group=2&country=1&category=1&page=5

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/6 TO http://www.newdomain/new-folder/new-page?cmd=divisionsMain&group=2&country=1&category=1&page=6

http://www.olddomain.com/folder TO http://www.newdomain/new-folder?cmd=divisionsMain&group=2&country=1&category=1

Thanks in advance!

I responded to one of his recent queries and then he pointed me to this question that he posted long time back that has been lying without being answered.

As long as you make sure this is placed in the correct tags, it should work fine.

This question was asked nearly a month ago - how did it turn out?

What can I put on a 404 page?

When it comes to SEO what can I put on a 404 page? I want to add content that actually makes the page useful so visitors will more likely stay on the website. Most pages just have a big image of 404 and a couple sentences saying what happened. I am wondering if Google would like if there was blog suggestions or navigational functions?

Having a Size Chart and Personalization Descriptions on each page - Duplicate Content?

Hi everyone, I am coding a Shopify Store theme currently and we want to show customers the size comparisons and personalization options for each product. It will be a great UX addition since it is the number one & two things asked via customer support. But my only concern is that Google might flag it as duplicate content since it will be visible on each product page. What are your thoughts and/or suggestions? Thank you so much in advance.

Do I need to undo a 301 redirect to dissavow links from the source domain?

A client came to me after being hit by Penguin and had already performed a 301 redirect from site A to Site B. Site B was subsequently hit by the penalty a number of weeks later and we are planing on performing link removal for Site A. Only the webmaster tools account for Site B exists, none is still available for site A. I assume that I cannot dissavow links to site A from Site B's webmaster tool account (even though website A's links show up in the GWT account). So do I need to undo the 301 and then create a new GWT account for site A in order to disavow the links pointing to site A, or can I submit from Site B's GWT account since they are 301'd to site B? Thanks! Chris [edited for formatting]

Can anyone recommend a Google-friendly way of utilising a large number of individual yet similar domains related to one main site?

I have a client who has one main service website, on which they have local landing pages for some of the areas in which they operate. They have since purchased 20 or so domains (although in the process of acquiring more) for which the domain names are all localised versions of the service they offer. Rather than redirecting these to the main site, they wish to operate them all separately with the goal of ranking for the specific localised terms related to each of the domains. One option would be to create microsites (hosted on individual C class IPs etc) with unique, location specific content on each of the domains. Another suggestion would be to park the domains and have them pointing at the individual local landing pages on the main site, so the domains would just be a window through which to view the pages which have already been created. The client is aware of the recent EMD update which could affect the above. Of course, we would wish to go with the most Google-friendly option, so I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice about how would be best to handle this? Many thanks in advance!

Content box (on page content) and titles Google over-optimization penalty?

We have a content box at the bottom of our website with a scroll bar and have posted a fair bit of content into this area (too much for on page) granted it is a combination of SEO content (with links to our pages) and informative but with the over optimization penalty coming around I am a little scared if this will result in a problem for us. I am thinking of adopting the process of this website HERE with the content behind a more information button that drops down, would this be better as it could be much more organised and we will be swopping out to more helpful information than the current 50/50 (SEO – helpful content) or will it be viewed the same and we might as well leave it as is and lower the amount of repetition and links in the content. Also we sell printed goods so our titles may be a bit over the top but they are bring us a lot of converting traffic but again I am worried about the new Google release this is an example of a typical title (only an example not our product page) Banner Printing | PVC Banners | Outdoor Banners | Backdrops | Vinyl Banners | Banner Signs Thank you for any help with these matters.

Would linking out to a gambling/casino site, harm my site and the other sites it links out to?

I have been emailed asking if I sell links on one of my sites. The person wants to link out to slotsofvegas[dot]com or similar. Should I be concerned about linking out to this and does it reduce the link value to any of the other sites that the site links out to? Thanks, Mark
