Suggest Me a SolutionPosted: Tue Jan 09, 2007 4:11 am    Post subject: Suggest Me a Solution

These are the Set of problems\confusions i am having and i would like some help Let me start:

1. As Suggested in another thread regarding the need of using 301 redirects for example.com to www.example.com

Would this in anyway affect my current listing ?

2.My Website is really forum but when i started it i used a sub folder for installing my forum ie www.dezibeatz.com is temporarily being redirected to
http://www.dezibeatz.com/forumdezibeatz using mod rewrite i think coz it was setup in C panel
That means a sample url after mod rewrite will look like :
Code:
http://www.dezibeatz.com/forumdezibeatz/xxxxxxx/xxxxx-xxx-xxx.html

does the length of the URL matter in page rank ?
and does using forum in a sub folder matter in page rank ?
Should i Shift my forum to the main domain http://www.dezibeatz.com/
when i am going to change my hosting (very soon)
If i do shift could that zero redirection you mentioned on the other thread save my current listing ?

1) locking the www prefix in URLs won't affect you ranking, it will only make sure it is always used.
So as you're using it on your web site, the redirection will only concern the eventual links tested without it, preventing any duplicate of this type :

example.com/page.html vs -www.example.com/page.html


2) Your Cpanel redirection is very bad : http 302

You need something like :
Code:

RewriteRule ^([^forumdezibeatz /].+)(.*)$  http://www.example.com/forumdezibeatz /$2 [QSA,L,R=301]


in your root's .htaccess to perform this redirection properly.

About moving your forum to the domain's root, well, there is no real need.

And you may need the root level to install a portal or something similar one day.

I advise you to wait a bit until the mod rewrite update, so that you'll be able to implement it easy, with proper http 301 redirection from old to new urls Wink

So Can I Implement this now ?
Or should i wait for the Mod Rewrite and then implement this with it ?

Well don't wait, at least if you plan to keep your folder structure, because 302 are really bad for ranking.

On a 302, bots "thinks" the source URL is the one to take into account, not the target.

I Set Up this in Cpanel instead for temporary use

Code:
RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ http://www.dezibeatz.com/forumdezibeatz/


My Current htaccess looks like this:

Code:





RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://dezibeatz.com/.*$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://dezibeatz.com$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.dezibeatz.com/.*$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.dezibeatz.com$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.malluhut.com/.*$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.malluhut.com$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://malluhut.com/.*$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://malluhut.com$      [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ http://www.dezibeatz.com [R,NC]

RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ http://www.dezibeatz.com/forumdezibeatz/

RedirectMatch works as well, you could as well use RedirectPermanent with this synthaxe (without the "permanent" obviously).

The important matter is here : you now have a genuine http 301 on -www.dezibeatz.com Wink
