301 Redirect

**PeanutButterCups** · 04-02-2007, 01:11 PM

Does anyone know how I can use 301 redirect on my site, we have updated it a number of times over the last year, and now have around 2,000 listings on google going to old pages that are no longer there. So I would like them to be forwarded to the homepage. Any Help would be good. Thanks

No problem,

Access your cpanel
click on the error pages icon
click on 404
add the html for what ever you want showing

As an example of the code you'd enter look below.

HTML Code:

<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="15; URL=www.freeresourcedirectory.com">
<TITLE>404 Not Found on Freeresourcedirectory.com</TITLE>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<IMG SRC="http://www.globalmook.com/freeresourcedirectory/error404.gif">
</center>
<br>
 
<H2>If this page stays here for more than 20 seconds - Click <A HREF="http://www.freeresourcedirectory.com/"> here</a></H2>
</FORM>
</body>
</html>

Obviously change the link to your site and also change the image link to whatever you want to show up on the page. if you don't want an image on the page just remove the below from the above code.

HTML Code:

<IMG SRC="http://www.globalmook.com/freeresourcedirectory/error404.gif">
</center>

Now you can either have a static link on this page that your customers will click themselves or you can do what i have done and add a redirect code into it.

HTML Code:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="15; URL=www.freeresourcedirectory.com">

All this is telling the browser to do is after 15 seconds to redirect to the given url. Again just change the amount of seconds you want the page to wait before redirecting and the url also.

If you want the page to redirect instantly just change the value to 0.

Hope this helps you out
