What is the proper way to execute 'page to page redirection'
-
I need to redirection every page of my website to a new url of another site I've made.
I intend to add:"Redirect 301 /oldpage.html http://www.example.com/newpage.html"I will use the 301 per page to redirect every page of my site, but I'm confused that if I add:"Redirect 301 / http://mt-example.com/" it will redirect all of my pages to the homepage and ignore the URLs i have separately mentioned for redirection.Please guide me.

Richard is correct. Redirects are handled in the htaccess file in the order in which they are presented. Put your most specific redirects first, your least specific redirects last.

Your second example will work for the homepage only really. I think the problem here is the order and if you're going to use that rewrite, use it last in the file. The problem with this type of redirect is that if you use it early, what will typically happen is it will redirect the domain but then create a broken link like olddomain.com/abc redirects and becomes newdomain.comabc creating a broken url.

Hey Nighat,
If you're on Wordpress, you can use this plugin. I would suggest you to assign this talk to your developer if you're doing this first time because this can create lots of problems for your site if not done correctly.
Please refer to these resources for better and clear understanding of each phase:

I do not quite understand your question .. perhaps because I use the translator google..ja ja ..!!
Sorry but my English is not very good ..
the most important thing to do 301 redirects is them each separately to the new page of the new site
in case you have some pages of the old site that does not correspond to the new site, you should try to make a page the most relevant and similar to the old pageCheers!!

Should I apply Canonical Links from my Landing Pages to Core Website Pages?
I am working on an SEO project for the website: https://wave.com.au/ There are some core website pages, which we want to target for organic traffic, like this one: https://wave.com.au/doctors/medical-specialties/anaesthetist-jobs/ Then we have basically have another version that is set up as a landing page and used for CPC campaigns. https://wave.com.au/anaesthetists/ Essentially, my question is should I apply canonical links from the landing page versions to the core website pages (especially if I know they are only utilising them for CPC campaigns) so as to push link equity/juice across? Here is the GA data from January 1 - April 30, 2019 (Behavior > Site Content > All Pages😞

Htaccess - Redirecting TAG or Category pages
Hello Fellow Moz's, We have an issue redirecting some /TAG and /Category pages to inner pages. As an example we use: RedirectMatch 301 /category/Sample-Category(.*) https://OurDomain.com.au/New-Page//$1 That works well. The issue is we have other categories and tags that are named similar to /Sample-Category As an example, if we try to redirect /Sample-Category-1 to /New-Page-1 - it will not work, and redirects to /New-Page I assume this is because /Sample-Category is already being redirected, so anything after /Sample-Category like -1 or -2 or -3 etc, will not be recognized. Anyone know of a workaround?

301 Redirects... Redirect all content at once or in increments?
Hello, I have been reading a lot about site migration and 301s and sometimes get confused with conflicting suggestions from different sources... So, in a site migration. Should I 301 redirect all old URLs to the news at once or little by little? I've see this Google handout that suggests doing it all at once (minute 13)

Does link equity to a page that is 301'd to a new domain pass juice on?
If we build some quality inbound links to certain pages, that are a later date 301'd to another domain, does any equity or juice get transferred across? Or is the inbound link's value wasted? Thanks

Why is my site's 'Rich Snippets' information not being displayed in SERPs?
We added hRecipe microformats data to our site in April and then migrated to the Schema.org Recipe format in July, but our content is still not being displayed as Rich Snippets in search engine results. Our pages validate okay in the Google Rich Snippets Testing Tool. Any idea why they are not being displayed in SERP's? Thanks.
