Redirect

L

Lawrence Beyer

I am replacing a website with a new one. I want visitors to my
old site to be automatically directed to my new site. FrontPage
2003 INSIDE OUT doesn't even have Redirect in the Index.
How is it done? Keep it simple. I don't know anything about
code. I just use basic FrontPage.

In HTML view, add the following to the Head section:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="6; URL=http://www.yournewwebsite.com">
The value given to 'content' is the number of seconds before the refresh
will take place; the value given to 'URL' is the page you want your visitor
sent to. You may also want to include a text link to the page in case your
visitor's browser does not support the 'refresh'.

Well, I think it would have to look like this:

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="6; URL=http://www.yournewwebsite.com">

<title>Birthday and Anniversary signs wtih names and year. Souvenir signs.
</title>
<meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="none, default">
</head>

<body>

You are being redirected to a new page. Please click <a href =
"http://www.yournewwebsite.com">Here</a> if the new page doesn't appear in 6
seconds.

<div align="center">
<table border="3" width="720" height="50" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="15"
bordercolor="#C0C0C0">
<tr>
<td bordercolor="#FFFFFF" width="720" height="50">
<img border="0" src="LarrysSignsBanner.JPG" width="720" height="150"><br>
&nbsp;<p><b><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;</b></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><br>
&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

</body>

</html>

The Head section is the part that starts with <head> and ends with </head>.
You can put it right after the <head> tag.

If you cannot use a 301 redirect on the server
http://www.gnc-web-creations.com/301-redirect.htm don't use the meta
http-equiv="refresh" as spa*ammers use it. Merely create a home page and
put the link to the new page on it.

Google guidelines say
http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=66359
"Use 301s: If you've restructured your site, use 301 redirects
("RedirectPermanent") in your .htaccess file to smartly redirect users,
Googlebot, and other spiders. (In Apache, you can do this with an .htaccess
file; in IIS, you can do this through the administrative console.)"

Before using your new domain, make sure your old domain 'space' on the
server has been deleted or you will run into duplicate content issues and
lose your hard earned seo (search engine optimisation) standing. You will
find more info about duplicate content issues further down page on the above
link.

Only a 301 redirect will ensure you no loss of seo.
