Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Yes, I bet.  I just want to be able to know what I'm asking.  lol

Thanks again for your help!  

Thanks Oleg!!!

-f is for file and -d is for directory, correct?

I found a 5 hour course on Lynda.com on RegEx so I'll be doing that this evening.

Thanks again for your quick response.  Much appreciated!!!

I'm going to have to do a rule, aren't I?  Basically to include (faq|faq.php) or something like that, huh?  So a RewriteRule is going to have to be used instead of Redirect or RedirectMatch.

Please help!

Hey!

I am having a tough time figuring this out, and I have already signed up for my RegEx course.  So in the mean time, could you please help me?

I have two old URLs:

/faq

/faq.php

The new one is /faqs

How can I write a 301 redirect to include faq & faq.php in the same line?  I basically want to capture /faq and anything beyond the q including the .php.

I thought this would work:

Redirect 301 /faq. http://www.blah.com/faqs

Using the period to catch everything after the q and redirect it to the /faqs page.

Extra credit: And why Redirect 301 vs. RedirectMatch 301?  It is an Apache server and mod_ rewrite is on.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, thank you.  We size them all to what we want on the site so we are good there.  Just got done doing it, and it did make a difference.  Thanks guys!

Perfect-O!  I completely get it now.  Thanks Paul.  You da man!

I thought it would be faster as in my mind it was more to read, but now that I understand the loading, I get it.  Guess I need to start researching how a website loads.  Have any resources I can read, to up my experience with this?

I've been in development but on an application side not website side.

Currently working on a sitespeed issue, and was wondering if not having width and height for images actually do cause a problem.  We simply Photoshop the resolution we require for the image and add it to the page as is.  I though this would actually speed it up, but I am getting from www.gtmetrix.com that we should have them.

What's your experience?  Thanks!

Yes, we do some "how tos" and how muches".  Was just worried about DA if we turn up the frequency.  Thanks again for your insight!

You're saying your new image has the old name?

Thanks Content King!

We're just going to have to get creative.  If someone has already reported it as news then we are no longer in the unique, original department.  For example, if a company announces a new product, we'll report it.  But so is everyone else...

Guess if they want the gold, they're going to have to pay with gold.  lol

If you are completely removing these pages, you also want them removed from the search engine directories.  Google has Webmaster Tools to do this, and you also have to update robots.txt so the search engines will stop trying to crawl pages that do not exist anymore.

Not sure about the "other guys".  With Microsoft creating Bing and taking over Yahoo, I'm not sure they're up to snuff yet.  However, Bing does have Webmaster Tools as well (http://www.bing.com/toolbox/webmaster/), but I haven't played around with all of its features just yet.

Hope this helps!!!

As we continue our content marketing efforts, and increase the frequency of posting to the blog, would this impact our domain authority?

We are assuming that when you add new pages, their low authority contribute to decreasing the domain's authority.  Is this the case?

It might not hurt a big site like SEOmoz that's already in the 90's.  What about a site in the 20-30 range?
