SEO friendly redirect + questions

I am using forums in the / forums with no landing page.

Now I know a 301 redirect is the best SEO friendly redirect using .htaccess

Code:

Redirect 301 /old/old.html http://www.you.com/new.html

I also want to redirect all http://mydomain.com to http://www.mydomain.com

I can do this with the .htaccess file using this code

Code:

RewriteEngine On

rewritecond %{http_host} ^yoursite.com 

rewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

The question I have is can I use both like

Code:

RewriteEngine On

rewritecond %{http_host} ^yoursite.com 

rewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Redirect 301 /old/old.html http://www.you.com/forums

Thanks in advance

Hi there,
I am facing a similar issue here.

I managed to redirect from http://domain.net to http://www.domain.net with this htaccess trick

Quote:

RewriteEngine On
Rewritecond %{http_host} ^yoursite.net
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.yoursite.net/$1 [R=301,L]

My question is how can I redirect http://domain.net/forum to http://www.domain.net/forum ?

The code below does not seem to work.

Quote:

RewriteEngine On
Rewritecond %{http_host} ^yoursite.net/forum
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.yoursite.net/forum$1 [R=301,L]

Any clues...

Thanks

Have you thought about the opposite approach and actually dropping the usage of www. It's somewhat redundant unless you are using an alternative to the www config.

No I never really thought about dropping the www.

With the www or without the www I still would like to beable to redirect eithier domain.com to www.domain.com and/or www. domain.com to domain.com

I would also like to redirect the same with the /forums

Any ideas would be great.
I mean i know if a user types in domain.com I can redirect to www. or the other way.
Now what is there go directly to the forums ? what would be the code to redriect that ?

Code:

RewriteEngine On



RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^YOURSITEURL\.com$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.YOURSITEURL.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Redirects everything to include "www.".
