301 non-www to www

From what I can tell Google has yet to clean up the canonicalization problem that arises when the www version of your site gets indexed along with the non-www version (i.e. http://www.seoappoint.com & http://seoappoint.com).

<code>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^seoappoint.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.seoappoint.com/$1 [L,R=301]
</code>

The '(*.)$' says that we'll take anything that comes after http://seoappoint.com and append it to the end of 'http://www.seoappoint.com' (thats the '$1' part) and redirect to that URL. For more grit on how this works checkout a good regular expressions resource or two.

Note: You only have to enter 'RewriteEngine On' once at the top of your .htaccess file.

Alternately you may choose to do this 301 redirect from
in the Apache config file httpd.conf.

<code>
<VirtualHost 67.xx.xx.xx>
ServerName www.seoappoint.com
ServerAdmin info@seoappoint.com
DocumentRoot /home/seoappoint/public_html
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 67.xx.xx.xx>
ServerName seoappoint.com
RedirectMatch permanent ^/(.*) http://www.seoappoint.com/$1
</VirtualHost>
</code>

Note that often webhost managers like CPanel would have placed a 'ServerAlias' seoappoint.com in the first VirtualHost entry which would negate the following VirtualHost so be sure to remove the non-www ServerAlias.

301 www to non-www

Finally the www 301 redirect to non-www version would look like:

<code>
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.seoappoint.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://seoappoint.com/$1 [L,R=301]
</code>

Redirect All Files in a Folder to One File

Lets say you no longer carry 'Best Travel Deal' and hence want to redirect all requests to the folder /besttraveldeal to a single page called /new-offer.php. This redirect can be accomplished easily by adding the following your .htaccess page:

<code>
RewriteRule ^besttraveldeal(.*)$ /new-offer.php [L,R=301]
</code>

But what if you want to do the same as the above example EXCEPT for one file? In the next example all files from /besttraveldeal/ folder will redirect to the /new-offer.php file EXCEPT /besttraveldeal/tours.html which will redirect to /indiatours.html

<code>
RewriteRule ^besttraveldeal/tours.html /indiatours.html [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^besttraveldeal(.*)$ /new-offer.php [L,R=301]
</code>

Redirect a Dynamic URL to a New Single File

It's common that one will need to redirect dynamic URL's with parameters to single static file:

<code>
RewriteRule ^article.asp?id=(.*)$ /seoservices.html [L,R=301]
</code>

In the above example, a request to a dynamic URL such as http://www.seoappoint.com/article.jsp?id=8932
will be redirected to http://www.seoappoint.com/seoservices.html
