Hey everyone! I am having a hard time finding out exactly the answers I need for some 301 redirects, so I am hoping some of the experts here can give me a little helpful information or at least point me in the right direction.

I need to setup some 301 redirects in .htaccess but I am not that familiar with how exactly to do what I want to do.

What I want to do is redirect specific pages from one website/domain to another AND redirect the index page to the index page of the other website/domain. I don't want to do just a simple 301 redirect because I want the indexed pages from the old site not to loose their ranking and also the new URL's are a little different, and that's why I need 301's for specific pages. If I do a normal 301 for the whole site then the indexed pages and their rankings will go bye, bye.

Here is what I need help with. I need:

VIA .htaccess
OLDwebsite.com to 301 to NEWwebsite.com

AND THEN INDIVIDUAL PAGES

OLDpage1.com to 301 to NEWpage1.com
OLDpage2.com to 301 to NEWpage2.com
OLDpage3.com to 301 to NEWpage3.com

And so on.

As of this moment I have the code below and it works but I am sure it's not completely correct.

Redirect 301 / http://NEWwebsite.com/

AND THEN INDIVIDUAL PAGES

Redirect 301 /OLDpage1/ NEWpage1.com/
Redirect 301 /OLDpage2/ NEWpage2.com/
Redirect 301 /OLDpage3/ NEWpage3.com/

I have searched Google for hours for the info I need with only a piece here and there and i get even more confused. ;)

Any help will be very, very much appreciated.

I dont know a way for you to keep ranking, PR, index, etc on the olddomain.com if you are doing a 301 redirect to a new domain. (would love to know if it can be done)
After doing a 301 redirect all the link juice, index, PR etc will be transferred over to the new domain both for humans and for search engine bots. Sometimes this transfer is not instant with search engines as it needs to crawl your website again and find the 301 redirection.

Ok, I've been looking into this.

A 301 direct will transfer domain authority, visitors, links juice and also your rankings in Google, so it appears this issue fixes it's self.
As luxin said the old domain will become the new domain in terms of SEO.

Is PR still running?
For complete site redirection use this .htaccess
1 #Options +FollowSymLinks
2 RewriteEngine on
3 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newsite.COM/$1 [R=301,L]

Didn't find anything else, hope this help
