Need 301 redirect from dynamic to static


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hello;

 

I have chemos ultimate URLS installed and have been obliterated from yahoo due to duplicate content. It sees my old url and new url and ubstead of dumping the old one like google has it's dropped both.

 

I'd like to in my htaccess file have a permanent redirect to kill the dynamic ones.

 

Would like to know if htaccess would be the way to go about this and if Yahoo will unban my pages.

 

Thanks.

Well, it may help, but in my experience Yahoo's spider is singularly obtuse when it comes to 301 redirects, holding on to the old URL for many months.

 

Personally, I find SEO URL changes more harmful then beneficial. In any event, you do want permanent redirects so you may as well add them.

 

I went the opposite route, redirecting old static URLs to the new dynamic ones. Seems to have worked fine. Yahoo does not seem to have picked up on my most recent set of redirects, but Google has.
