Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Angie,

I am using Helicon ISAPI Redirect for our redirects.

Here is a simple example of the redirect synatx:

RewriteRule ^policies/return_policy/ /shop/returns/ [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^policies/ / [R=301,L]

I would LOVE a way to save some of these incoming links:

learn/tutorials/how-to-cur

Thanks for the help!

wow, fantastic. Very helpful - really appreciate it!

I've found that these pages are more idea for website branding and link baiting. This is where you can use fun / interesting photos / descriptions of the website / product in hopes that you will get shares.

Yes! Google webmaster tools is a great help in determining crawler issues, queries, duplicates etc.

Now Google Analytics can be linked with Webmaster Tools allowing for even better data analysis. There is no reason not to have every site you manage up and running with Webmaster Tools.

That did it! Thanks!

Do you mind explaining that syntax for me?

I am using Wordpress and the Redirection plugin.

I have recently launched a new site and while it was in development, a lot of broken pages were created and indexed. These are terminating in 404s.

I am looking to redirect all traffic from: /replay/postname/ to the homepage. When I use this regular expression:

Source: /replay/*

Target: /

it removes the /replay/ but leaves the postname.

Any idea how I could redirect all traffic inside of /replay/ to the homepage?

Thanks a bunch, Josh

Thanks Jennifer, will do! So much good information.

You are right Donnie. I've "good answered" you too.

I've gone ahead and updated my robots.txt file. As soon as I am able, I will use no indexon the page, no follow on the links, and rel=canonical.

This is just what I needed, a quick fix until I can make a more permanent solution.

Ya it is actually really useful. Unfortunately they are out of business now - so I'm hacking it on my own.

I will take your advice. I've shamefully never used rel= canonical before - so now is a good time to start.

Thanks Donnie. Much appreciated!

I can do this on a specific site using Screaming Frog's 'custom' feature. It is really handy for troubleshooting problems on my own site, or finding something specific on 1 domain. I'm not aware of anything can can search multiple.
