I'm new to this hosting thing and I'm trying to setup a redirect from a parked page to my website. What is the syntax for apache to setup the redirect?

 

Thanks!

The process is fairly simple. Here's what I have in my .htaccess file:

 

Redirect 301 /tags/xp/ http://www.groovypost.com/tags/windows-xp/

This will redirect the url: http://www.groovypost.com/tags/xp/ to htp://www.groovypost.com/tags/windows-xp with a 301 redirect.

 

Again, by looking at it it's fairly self explanatory.

 

Let me know if you need any other help!

A 301 redirect is a permanent redirect. A 302 is temp. Permanent redirects tell search engines the old URL is gone and to pull it from the putting the new URL in it's place. 301 is normally what you want to preserve the page in the index and keep the page rank.
