Redirect
-
Some time ago I have created a category which I have deleted later. Now seomoz is showing me that its not found, obviously...what would be the best practice to redirect this category to a page? I know that with 301, but how, can I do it when I deleted that category:-(
-
So, meanwhile I have found out that the Nginx isW3 total cache but I do not understand what is the problem with it:-( why is it redirecting my website content?

Thank you very much Tom,
London is beautiful, I have very nice memories from there and would love some cold rain here for a change:-)
My husband developed that site but has no clue what is wrong and has given up and said me I should deleted it completely:-( I am already 4 months learning SEO in order to fix this site. Funny, I even like to learn it:-) So I will have to help myself. What is the Nginx? were I have it? I guess it is plugin but I do not see it in plugins.

Hi July
Greetings from cold and miserable London!
My best advice now would be to contact the team that helped develop your website and see if they would be able to implement the necessary redirects. Failing that, if you can find a freelancer with extensive experience of working with Nginx, they will be able to help too.

I was always wondering that there is something wrong going on my website with redirects as I can also see on semoz report this kind of weird redirects:

Hi July
You can still redirect URLs that no longer exist, or have never existed.
If the site you're talking about is the one in your profile, I can see you're running Nginx. It's a bit more tricky to redirect with Nginx then, say, Apache, but it's doable. If you have a dev team to hand, they should be able to implement it for you, but if not, hopefully these links will help:
Link 1 - looking at Nginx's HTTPRewriteModule.
Link 2 - How to set up 301 redirects with Nginx's config file.
Better off starting with link 2 actually, I think it's a guide that will answer all your queries.
Hope these help.

In one of the previous opened discussions the solution given was: you'd update the server level rule to point directly to the end URL form.

Domain Redirection
hi all - question we seem to see people ranking better naturally when they have the seo term in their title. Say we were optimising for "red buses". Our company was called Diamond we are using Diamond.co and have a DA of 32 (Page Title Diamond Red Buses | Bla) Should we buy diamondredbuses.co.uk ? Is it best to continue on our domain and redirect? Or move domains? How much would it affect?

301 redirects / clean urls (2)
hello again! 1st i want to thank robert, istvan and everyone else for the great answers to my last question. i guess i should have been a bit more specific with the questionas i am still a bit unclear about a couple of things. i forgot to mention that we actually moved the site several months back and redirected all the "category" pages, but, i wasnt aware that the "product" pages were never redirecte! so my next questions are: at this point is it even worth redirecting those old product pages? if so, should we use the IP address as shown below or the domain as shown below ...i am guessing at the IP address. http://72.3.181.97/catalog/CanineCushionDogCouchBeds.aspx

http://www.k9electronics.com/catalog/CanineCushionDogCouchBeds.aspx also, our old site was never deleted from the server. our ranking / sales dropped off by about 50% when the new site went live so im guessing this can be directly contributed to the products not being redirected / duplicate content from the 2 sites? im also guessing i need to find a new developer ..can i get a vote on that? 😉 <colgroup><col width="856"></colgroup>

Too many 301 redirects to home page - is this possible?
If a site has a bunch of 404’s that are basically old URL’s that no longer work and point to pages or documents that don’t exist anymore - Can someone clarify if it’s a problem when fixing a bunch of these 404’s to point them all to the home page? so if there is not really anywhere else that is applicable for the old broken URL, is it really a problem to 301 old pages to the site home page? I have read some different things on this recently on some different sites, so I just wondered what the latest thinking on this was….thanks...
