Re: [OT] do web page redirects keep google ranking?
2009/7/28 Micha Feigin mi...@post.tau.ac.il: Sorry for the off topic question, but I believe people here know the answer If I have a high ranked page on google and I change the domain, does leaving a redirect from the old domain to the new one preserve ranking in google (will the page start appearing at the same rank with the new domain under google once the change propagates)? So long as you use a 301 redirect, then for the most part pagerank is brought to the new page. Other redirect methods do not bring the pagerank with them. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

So long as you use a 301 redirect, then for the most part pagerank is brought to the new page. Other redirect methods do not bring the pagerank with them. Just to be clear, pagerank is _not_ the only thing that determines where in the search result pages your site will rank. Other factors will affect it as well, so although the new page may have the same pagerank as the old page, that does not mean that it will appear in the same place in the search result pages. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

One important note beyond the link Or gave is to stress the 301 part. All of the 300 codes are redirects, and the article does not put a big enough stress on this point. 301 means permanent redirect. If the RFC is to be believed, this means the request can be cached, bookmarks may be automatically updated, and anything else that needs to take place (i.e. - updating the search engine page rank) to facilitate the change. The URL is never coming back. The most common way to produce redirects in Apache is mod_rewrite. The problem is that mod_rewrite produces 302 (found elsewhere). This code is for temporary redirects. The redirect may not be cached, bookmarks must not be updated, and in any other sense the pointer that led you to the original URL must still be considered valid. Understandably, Google will also not assign the previous page's rank to the new address, as the relocation is not considered permanent. In mod_rewrite, to achieve 301 codes, either add [permanent] to the end of the rule, or [R=301].
