riggers asked: HI all.
I’ve recently moved a load of web page files from one URL to another. However, all of the key words & description tags within the site point to the old URL when typed into google, despite the fact that I didn’t even add the keyword/description tags until after I uploaded to the files to the new URL.
So, with the very kind advice of another yahoo member, I decided to have a go at loading a .htacces file into my root file and use a 301 redirect protocol.
The hosting company which I use, run Linux servers which I believe, are the only ones which understand this type of protocol and my site is in HTML.
I have only just uploaded the .htacces file but, when I type into google the relevant key words, it still points to the old URL. Does Google need time to index this?
Here’s the .htacces file:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^beautyboxworcester.co.uk [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.beautyboxworcester.co.uk/$1
[r=301,nc]
I hope you’ll can help!!!!!!
Thankyou very much.
