Create a PHP header redirect...

PHP: PHP Header 301 Redirect - Moved Permanently

[JamesEvansSEO]

Hi,

For a windows server (IIS) do the next:

a. In internet services manager, right click on the file or folder you wish to redirect.
b. Select "a redirection to a URL"
c. Enter the redirection page.
d. Check "The exact url entered above", and the "A permanent redirection for this resource".
e. Click "Apply".

That's it...

Good luck

Just dug out the one I use. basically it checks to see if your not the real address and does a 301 to the real domain, this way it works on sites where you have multiple domains pointed at one lot of space!

<%
Dim basedomain 'the real domain that users should be redirected to permanently
basedomain = "www.yoursite.co.uk" 'do not include the http:// prefix here, if no www is specified in the URL, just specify the domain...
if( InStr(lcase(request.servervariables("HTTP_HOST")), basedomain) = 0) then
Dim currentFullPath
currentFullPath = "http://" & request.servervariables("HTTP_HOST") & Request.ServerVariables("script_name") & "?" & Request.Querystring
Dim newFullPath
newFullPath = replace(currentFullPath, request.servervariables("HTTP_HOST"), baseDomain)
Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location",newFullPath
'Response.Write("<H1>NEW: " & newFullPath & "</H1>")
'Response.Write("<H1>FULL: " & currentFullPath & "</H1>")
end if
%>

Or now you could use the "rel = canonical" tag of course, which is obviously going to fix everything, ROFL
