Add a 302 (permanent) redirect to make the most out of the old link. This way, the link will actually help your web app because it'll sort of transfer the weight (search engine wise) to the new link.
I don't know what your setup is, but you can search for "302 redirect [SETUP]". There's a chance you're on Apache, look into `.htaccess`. If you'd rather not tinker with that, your hosting provider will most likely have a graphical user interface to add redirects.
All the best,
- averageweather 10y agogunicorn --- thanks, I'll look into this.
- webtechgal 10y agoPlacing the following line in the .htaccess file (at your web root) should do the trick, while retaining any possible link juice (for SEO) flowing into the old URL: Redirect 301 /old_file /new_file
- ronsor 10y agoIts 301 -- 302 is temporary
- Jugurtha 10y agoI don't know how I got that wrong. Thanks for correcting it.
