Their site is hosted with OLM (Apache server) and they have a primarydomain.com and then a parkeddomain.com. They are indexed in Google for all of their site pages under both domain names. I'm working on a 301 redirect in the .htaccess file to point the parkeddomain.com to the primarydomain.com. I know how to 301 redirect the entire parkeddomain.com to the primarydomain.com, but I'm not certain if this is the best way to go. Their parked domain has hundreds of inbound links. Is there a way to 301 redirect these individual pages to the new pages. For example: www.parkeddomain.com/about.html to www.primarydomain.com/new-aboutpage.html I hope this makes sense. What I don't want to do is loose the value of all those links out there. I'd appreciate some advice on this! Thanks! _____________________________

To redirect particular pages, you'll need to use this in your .htaccess file: Redirect 301 /oldpage.html http://www.mynewlocation.com/newpage.html You'd need to do that for each page specifically that you wanted to redirect to a new page name. Once you've finished though, don't forget to check everything's working okay using a check server headers tool...and of course make sure you make a copy of your .htaccess file before you start working on it, just incase something goes wrong. _____________________________ ~~ "A cruel god ain't no god at all" ~~ ~~ Erase hate.

If so, be very careful where you put that redirect info in your htaccess file. _____________________________ Don from TreeTops Ranch, Oregon "I've got a taste for quality and luxury" (in reply to Jordan)

No, no fp extensions. I ended up using the following:


Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.old.com 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.new.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.new.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^new.com$
RewriteRule ^ "http\:\/\/www\.new\.com\/" [R=301,L]
 
  
 Not sure if that's the best way or not, but for now it seems to be working.
