301 Redirect?

[Hogward]

Hi,

In which case 301 redirects are not able to use in a site??

[C.Rebecca]

301 redirect is permanent redirect. If you think you are doubtful about your redirects you must avoid it, because it is irreversible.

Best cases for using 301 redirect,
- You've moved your site to a new domain, and you want to make the transition as seamless as possible.
- People access your site through several different URLs. If, for example, your home page can be reached in multiple ways - for instance, http://example.com/home, http://home.example.com, or http://www.example.com - it's a good idea to pick one of those URLs as your preferred (canonical) destination, and use 301 redirects to send traffic from the other URLs to your preferred URL. You can also use Webmaster Tools to set your preferred domain.
- You're merging two websites and want to make sure that links to outdated URLs are redirected to the correct pages.

The code "301″ means "file moved permanently".
A 301 redirect is implemented in your .htaccess file. In the .htaccess file, after the code, the URL of the missing or renamed page is noted, followed by a space, then followed by the new location or file name.

A 301 redirect is the most efficient and spider and visitor friendly strategy around for web sites.
