Tips on how to redirect your readers to your new domain name

Got a new domain name? Do you need to transfer your reader to new domain name? The safest way to redirect from the old website to the new web site and keep the same search engine rankings is to use the 301 redirect.

What is 301 redirect?

Redirect 301

Redirect 301

The 301 redirect is the best method to preserve your current search engine rankings when redirecting to your web site. The code “301″ is interpreted as “moved permanently”. 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. You implement the 301 redirect by creating a .htaccess file.

What is a .htaccess file?

When a visitor a web page, your web server checks first for a .htaccess file. The .htaccess file contains specific instructions for certain requests, including security, redirection issues and how to handle certain errors.

Don’t have an .htaccess file access?

In this cases you can redirect your readers using the following scripts:

Meta Redirect

To send someone to a new page (or site) put this between the head tag “<head> </head>” of your document:

<meta content=’5;url=http://mynewsite.com ‘ http-equiv=’refresh’/>

ColdFusion Redirect

<.cfheader statuscode=”301″ statustext=”Moved permanently”>
<.cfheader name=”Location” value=”http://www.new-url.com”>

PHP Redirect

<?
Header( “HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently” );
Header( “Location: http://www.new-url.com” );
?>

ASP Redirect

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Response.Status=”301 Moved Permanently”
Response.AddHeader “Location”,”http://www.new-url.com/”
%>

ASP .NET Redirect

<script runat=”server”>
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Response.Status = “301 Moved Permanently”;
Response.AddHeader(“Location”,”http://www.new-url.com”);
}
</script>

JSP (Java) Redirect

<%
response.setStatus(301);
response.setHeader( “Location”, “http://www.new-url.com/” );
response.setHeader( “Connection”, “close” );
%>

CGI PERL Redirect

$q = new CGI;
print $q->redirect(“http://www.new-url.com/”);

What if you are using bloggers or blogspot.com?

Since Bloggers (blogspot.com) does not let you access the .htaccess file. You can use the Meta redirect script as stated above. Where “content=10″ is the time in seconds that the readers will have to wait before they will be redirected. As what we did with Zorlone (zorlone.blogspot.com), we created a meta tag to redirect his readers to his new domain http://www.zorlone.com. But you have to remove all your widgets that you have added and make a post that you’ll be redirecting your reader to a new domain name.

To demonstrate I have prepared a slide show for you to have a better picture.

To decrease the size, press Ctrl+Shift+]]> How to increase or decrease font size (MS Word)

To quickly increase the font size of selected text, press Ctrl+Shift+>. To decrease the size, press Ctrl+Shift+<. I find it easy to remember these keyboard shortcuts because the one with the greater-than symbol increases the font size while the less-than symbol decreases it.

How to used Fill Handle (MS Excel)

If you drag the fill handle with only one cell selected, it will repeat that cell's value into adjacent cells. However, if you drag the fill handle with multiple cells selected, Excel is smart enough to figure out the series. For instance, in the following example, Excel will fill subsequent cells with the increasing series of odd numbers. This even works for other types of series, like dates and percentages.

In the above slides, I selected 2 cells then drag the fill handle downward and you will notice the number will increment by 5.

For those people who’s having trouble with the installation process for Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 on Windows Vista PCs or Notebook. Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 does run on Windows Vista and should work fine. Just to make sure and for best results, I recommend downloading and installing Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 while you’re logged in as Administrator on your Windows Vista computer. To help you guys in avoiding some obstacles please note the following simple procedure:

1.     Log in as Administrator, or any administrator account.

2.     Turn off the Windows Vista Security Control called “User Account Control” (UAC) in the control panel.

3.     Turn off any firewall that you have.

4.     Make sure run the Diagnose and Repair in the network icon in the system tray to resolve network issues if you have one.

5.     Go to the Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 download page.

6.     A small Windows dialog box will appear, asking if you want to Run, Save or Cancel the file download. Click Run

(Based on my experiences, you’ll be having trouble with installation if you save the downloaded file and running it later on.)

7.     Another window will pop up asking if you want to run this software. Click the “Run” button again.

From there you should see the first screen of the 9.0 installer.

Yahoo Messenger 9.0 Installer

10.  After this you will have to follow the installation process from Yahoo! Messenger then, everything will be fine.

Installing Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 will not be exactly the same for every Windows Vista user. Depending on your settings, you may or may not see the UAC and firewall windows. If you’re running into different issues, please describe them by commenting in this blog or email me at jhongmed@qlickcafe.com (e.g. step-by-step so I can understand where you’re running into an issue).
