• The purpose of redirection is to send a
user/search engine to a correct, preferred page
• Types of Redirects
– 301 ('Moved Permanently') - Recommended for SEO
– 302 ('Found' or 'Moved Temporarily')
URL Redirect

• Non WWW to WWW Redirection
– In practical www.abc.com and abc.com are considered as
same but in seo point of view it can be duplicates
– We need to write to rule for selecting our preferred
domain
Non www to www redirection code (.htaccess)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^webtrainings.in [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.webtrainings.in/$1 [L,R=301]
NON WWW to WWW Redirect

• 301 Redirect is permanent and pass the link
juice and PR to new page. In apache server we
use .htaccess file for Redirect.
redirect 301 old.html http://www.abc.com/new.html
Redirecting a Single Page

• A canonical page is the preferred version of a set of
pages with highly similar content.
• Example
– Shopping with View Options
– Automated duplicated page versions
• Code
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/product.php"/>
