http://www.domain 301 redirect to http://domain
Hi guys,

I have few queries I'd like to get your opinions on regarding the topic title:

Would somebody mind writing me up some rewrite rules that will transfer any users who are visiting my site from the URL http://www.domain.com to http://domain.com in a SEO safe manner? I don't know a whole lot about .htaccess and rewrite rules and all that businees, but if possible could you make sure that search engines won't have a problem following the redirect?

I say again: I'm not the brightest buton when it comes to .htaccess and that mumbo jumbo.

I apologise if this was posted in the wrong forum but I felt this was the closest available.

Hope someone can help me out, I'd be eternally grateful.

Steve

Re: http://www.domain 301 redirect to http://domain
This can be done via .htaccess (didn't test it, but it should work just fine):
Quote:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mydomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://mydomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Replace mydomain with your real domain name.

That's it.

Re: http://www.domain 301 redirect to http://domain
Sorry, bad code. It should be :

Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mydomain\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
It works!

Re: http://www.domain 301 redirect to http://domain
Thanks very much SEO Report Worked a treat.

Just curious now, how woud I go about doing the exact opposite? By this I mean 301 redirecting http://domain to http://www.domain?

I'm starting to lean more towards keeping the www. part now, as I notice it's more common when linking to other sites. If someone could provide the code I would be eternally grateful (again). I have a good idea what to tweak in your code to create this effect but better to be safe then sorry, right?

Re: http://www.domain 301 redirect to http://domain
You're welcome, Steve!

This code should 301 redirect non-www URLs to their www counterpart:

PHP Code:
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
