Redirection 301 Moved Permanently

Wow... nearly one month din't update my blog. Due to busy on Chinese New Year 2008 celebration and outstation for business trip.

Today's tip, to create a SEO friendly redirection method:

Search engines have indexed your entire site and many pages rank well. By moving and renaming these files, you run the risk of losing a lot of traffic and leaving visitors to your site who follow a search engine link with the dreaded "Error 404 - File not found"


There are several way recommended:
1. 301 Redirection
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 nam




2. Meta Refresh / Redirect
This method always used by spammer to redirect their page to itself, so that they can get the counts. This is so called illegal traffic. Thus, use this method wisely.

The code will be located in the header tag.
