How do I set-up a 301 redirect?
-
Moz alerted me to two 404 errors on our website. I am now trying to place a 301 redirect on them. How would I go about accomplishing?
-
Redirect 301 /registerlogin-2/ http://everlastingchanges.com/registerlogin-3/
But please - remove "scheduling" from main homepage that doesn't exist anymore.

This should be a suitable guide for you http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/sitemanagement/urlrewriting.html

The other is everlastingchanges.com/registerlogin-2/
-
Yes, one is http://everlastingchanges.com/scheduling...

Have you got your url? I'll be able to tell you how to do a redirect with that information.

Hey Harvey, I appreciate the response. However, I have already read through that information and was unable to locate the exact answer on how to redirect. I was given more information on what is a redirection, url, etc.

If you have 404 somewhere inside of your site there is only one way to fix them - fixing URLs. So if on page A i have link to page B that doesn't exist. Robots will crawl page A and seeing about presence of page B. But on checking page B robots will get 404. So it's much better to fix page A to link to page C that exists. And this is for internal sites.
If you have incoming links to 404. Site A page B link to your site X page Y. Since you can't fix page B then you can make 301 redirect on your website and redirect page Y to page Z that exist.
If you have outgoing links to 404. Then try to find update URL/site if they still exist. If doesn't exist anymore try to find replacement or redirect to archive.org. Or update your page that this doesn't exists anymore.
301 redirects are quick to fix with Apache and it's .htaccess. All you need is just to make somewhere line as:
Redirect 301 /dir/page.htm http://www.example.com/new-dir/new-page.html
Redirect 301 /dir/subdir/page.htm http://www.example.com/new-dir/new-subdir/new-page.php
of course this is example and you need to edit them for your specific case. You also must watch http access log for 404s. -

The right GA account is not populating as an option. Can I redirect to a GA account not listed?
When setting up a campaign, Moz provides a number of Google Analytic options, however not the one that pertains to the specific URL for the campaign. Is there a setting I need to change to allow for the right GA account to populate? Or, can I enter this manually?

301 Redirect & Canonical Tags
If I have URL A and need to 301 Redirect to URL B but want to have a canonical tag on URL B pointing to URL A Would this be considered cloaking? My server which runs .net 3.5 does not allow me to do URL re-writes.

On Link Analysis tab I my best pages are 301 and 404 pages.
I looked on my redirrect file and found that /* redirects to /v/404.asp.
Moz Pro | | sbetzen
However if you look below at the link analysis the 404 page is getting a 404 error.
The homepage ecowindchimes.com/ is getting a 301 (but I don't know where it is going to).
The third one is also redirected. 1. [No Data] ecowindchimes.com/ ||| 301 ||| 2 ||| 36 2. 2. [No Data] ecowindchimes.com/v/404.asp ||| 404 ||| 2 ||| 34 3. [No Data] 3. ecowindchimes.com/index.html?lang=en-us&target=d2.html ||| 301 ||| 1 ||| 33 So I have 2 questions: 1) should this be fixed? and 2) how? This is a volusion site and I believe the "catchall" redirect was done by them0 -

Bad code on Learn Seo Redirection info Page
Is it just me, or is the Redirection resource page missing the exclamation point (!) in this code. If so, this could really mess someone's site up if they copy and paste. http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/redirection http://screencast.com/t/n7lknZ32G9xF Redirecting Canonical Hostnames: The original developers at SEOmoz needed to redirect any requests that do not start with www.seomoz.org to make sure they included the www. They did this not only because it looks better, but to avoid common canonicalization errors. Redirect: http://seomoz.org/To: http://www.seomoz.org/ Redirect: http://mail.seomoz.org/To: http://www.seomoz.org Redirect: http://seomoz.org/somefile.phpTo: http://www.seomoz.org/somefile.php Solution: Add the following directive: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^seomoz.org [NC]RewriteRule (.*) http://www.seomoz.org/$1 [L,R=301] Explanation: This directive tells apache to examine the host the visitor is accessing (in this case: seomoz.org), and if it does not equal www.seomoz.org redirect to www.seomoz.org. The exclamation point (!) in front of www.seomoz.org negates the comparison, saying “if the host IS NOT www.seomoz.org, then perform RewriteRule.” In our case RewriteRule redirects them to www.seomoz.org while preserving the exact file they were accessing in a back-reference. *emphasis added by me

301 redirect
Hello, I received a crawl diagnostic report for the website http://www.advancedemt.com here's what it said: Issue: (301 redirect) Page Title URL:http://advancedemt.com/ Redirects to:http://http://www.advancedemt.com/ I called seohosting.com for help: They checked my .httaccess file and did not find anything that would cause this 301 redirect.. Cpanel was evaluated for a 301 redirect and nothing there either. MyPHP Admin was checked for anything that could possibly cause this issue. They had a tech search the entire database and no luck on any issue that may be causing the SEOmoz software to pick up this 301 redirect. We checked the Wordpress settings... No discrepancies. Wordpress permalinks... No problems..... We checked Google to see if they may have indexed the site for the error with no luck... I told the SEO Hosting staff that the canonical feature that has been built into Wordpress would prevent this redirect from allowing Google to index the site with this error. Is it possible that the crawl diagnostics is wrong??? Please help... Best regards, Jeff Bratcher (404) 520-2385
