p.s. This is a permanent 301 redirect.
Do not use a 404. This will kill a robot immediately (google at
least). A 404 is a page not found and will stop the bot in its
tracks.
You should use a 301 redirect. To do this in IIS, go to
properties/Home Directory. Click a "redirection to a URL." Fill in
the complete URL including "http://"; in the Redirect to: field.
Check the "Exact URL Entered Above" box. Check the "Permanent
Redirect for this Resource" box.
Windows 2003 Web Edition, R:Tango 5.0
Still rewriting all to multi domains/one set of apps.
Some of my tafs had to move to different folders. I want to make sure that
browsers are redirected to the new location, but that search engines will
discover page no longer exists and delete from search engine DB.
I have 2 possible methods:
1) I can use a 404.taf to redirect
2) I can use IIS 60 redirects for each page
Both will get the browser to the correct location, but how do search engines
spiders react to each method. Do they realize that the page no longer exists
with either method?
Thanks
