301 Redirect = SEO friendly web forwarding

Domain Names, Search Engines No Comments »

At last! We have added the 301 Redirect as a forwarding type for parked domain names!

The much requested (and needed) feature is now live for all parked domain names. The 301 redirect is the SEO friendly redirect which is recommended by all major search engines as well as openly by Google.

The 302 redirect is what you would use when redirecting a domain name to a another location temporarily, it means that any ‘link juice’ value contained in a domain name (or page) is reserved and it is NOT passed on to the target location. So when the temporary period is over your domain is back to where it started with it’s original link value restored.

The 301 redirect is the “permanently” moved redirect, this tells the search engines that this is a permanent change and any link value associated with the domain name should be passed on to the target location.

This ensures that all visitors to your secondary domains are forwarded to your primary site as well as any link value for each domain is also added to your primary domain thus adding to you SEO rank position.
