Thread: redirects from old site

Several days ago I place a redirect (404) within my new BV directory in control panel... utilizing Ramsey's instructions.. thank you... ANd it seems to work well.... in redircting some pages of old site (which has had it's servors shut down) but not all....

for example.. below is a link to msn search engine.. my website is name is treetables.com , the search (keyword term) in this case was stump table .. if you click on the links .. they do NOT go to the new site...
what can i do about this?? to fix it??

http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q...able&FORM=MSNH

I am the number one and number 2 spots on the above msn search page... going to former pages of

treeetables.com/generic1106.html and

treetables.com/generic1119.html

For me ,, they do not redirect...

ok thanks...

I don't think you have set it up as I explained, as typing ANYTHING after your domain name should take you to your custom 404 page and it doesn't.

ok - not sure i understand you when you say "typing"... as the search engine user simply clicks the link on the searched page...

I will go over the instructions ... very carefully again and check for errors...

it seems to work well.. when the destination page (as searched and found on search engines.. is " treetables.com" but not work on pages found in search engines that have destination pages treetables plu any extensions

i am working on it...
