Retain your Web Traffic with 301 Permanent Rediraction

301 Moved permanently is used for permanent redirection of any web page or websites. It is the most efficient way to move on to new address with all your search engine ranking and current traffic of your website. You need to have access to your server's .htaccess file for implementing a 301 redirect for websites that are hosted on servers running Apache.

It’s easy to implement 301 redirect and preserve your search engine rankings for that particular page. If you have to change file names or move pages around, it's the best option. The code "301" is known as "moved permanently".
301 redirects can be followed in particular circumstances:

• If you’ve moved your website to a new domain name, and you want to make the transition as smooth as possible.
• If your page is accessible through several different URLs. If, for example, your home page can be reached in multiple ways – i.e. , http://abc.com/home, http://home.abc.com, or http://www.abc.com – so we pick one among those URLs as our preferred destination, and use 301 redirects to direct traffic from the all other URLs to our main URL.
• If you’re merging two websites and want to make sure all the traffic should be redirected to the main URL’s.
