Help with 301 redirects.
 

Is this the exact correct code for permanently redirecting individual pages through the .htaccess file?:

RewriteEngine On
Redirect 301 /main.html http://www.mysite.com/main.php

If I have many individual pages to redirect do I do this?:

RewriteEngine On
Redirect 301 /main.html http://www.mysite.com/main.php
Redirect 301 /tits.html http://www.mysite.com/tits.php
Redirect 301 /ass.html http://www.mysite.com/ass.php
Redirect 301 /teens.html http://www.mysite.com/teens.php
Redirect 301 /videobox.html http://www.mysite.com/video-box.php

Any help would be awesome. I also have the option through my hosting control panel to input one domain at a time for 301 redirects. I would prefer to learn this myself so any guidance is appreciated.

I knew I should have put BOOBS in the title.

Can anyone help? With the 301 issue that is.

Any help with this issue?

You'll find some better ways here:

Are you pretty much just redirecting .html files to the equivalent .php file?

The first page for the Google search is this:

http://www.webweaver.nu/html-tips/web-redirection.shtml

It gives the same example that I wrote in this thread for redirecting a single/individual page:

Redirect 301 /oldpage.html http://www.example.com/newpage.html

I am changing all html files to php but a lot of the new files are named differently. For example:

8thstreetlatinas.html to 8th-street-latinas.php

Therefore should I use the initial example I used which seems to be the same as the one above?

Thanks.

Why are you redirecting form .html to .php anyway?

You can do regex to redirect from .html to .php but for the renamed files, you'll have to put them in like you currently do.

Regex version is
Redirect 301 /(.*).html http://www.example.com/$1.php

Why not just let PHP parse .html?

Thanks for the info. Since most of my pages are now in different folders and have different names it looks like I will have to do the Redirect 301 for the majority.

By doing the 301 redirect there should be no loss of Search Engine rankings, correct?

Thanks.

No, 301 tells the search engines that the file has moved, and to replace it with the new location.
