Redirect Script

PHP Code:

redirect("YourURL");
</script> 


-Add this Script to HEAD of your page
-Replace "YourURL" with URL where u want to redirect your page to..
I know its small thing but i just want to share it..

Thanks for that. This could be usefull redirection for affiliate links.

thank you for sharing this, but there is some problem with this script. As i can judge it is written in javascript which can not be followed by search engine robots, hence it may be cause to get your penalized due to the cloaking. I rather suggest php or htaccess permanent redirect instead of javascipt.

Thanks a lot but i am not that expert sorry. I used it for a web site and redirect it to another (Easy way)

But Ask me about diamonds thats my job

[Bagi Zoltán]

Istambul, there is absolutly no problem i just wanted to draw your attention to the possible disadvantage of the javascript redirection.

Well i had no touch with diamonds so far

Zoltan (that's your first name, right?), if you cold write samples of php and mod_rewrite redirects so we can have all 3 variations in the same thread?

Thanks a lot!

Of course SkinnerW. If you want to redirect page to the new location you may use php in order to let search engines know about the change. Here is a sample code:

PHP Code:

<?
Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
Header( "Location: http://www.this-is-the-new-location.com" );
?>

If you have the possibility to use .htaccess redirections -the mod rewrite apache modul is enabled- you may place this code into the .htaccess file and upload to the root folder

Redirect 301 /oldpage.html http://www.sampledomain.com/newpage.html

If you have a complete website moved to a new domain you may want to redirect the whole website using this code as the part of the .htaccess file

Redirect 301 / http://www.newsampledomain.com/

To remove the www from your domain (to match your setting in Google Webmaster Tools):

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.yourdomain\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

And if you want to redirect TLDs to your main one:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.yourdomain\.(net|info|org|name)
RewriteRule (.*) http://yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

MArtin, i have never seen this code before, thanks for sharing. I guess it will work only if you own those TLDs.

[espmartin]

Yeah, you can switch those out with the ones you have, or just add a TLD with the pipe
separator | between them.
