RE: 301 redirect relative or absolute path?posted in Technical SEO
301 Redirects should always be programmed and thought of us relative to full path.
in htaccess, it should look like this:
redirect 301 /old-page-name.html http://www.full-website-name.com/new-page-name.html
redirect 301 /old-page-name2.html http://www.full-website-name.com/new-page-name2.htmland so on and so forth..
Which pages lost traffic - old ones or new ones? If you could send an example (or email it if you're willing) id be happy to take a peak.
