Moving through life, we all try to keep our roots close. In light of keeping my roots close, I’d like to highlight one of the best web design reference guides from a college of which I am not alumni of. For many years, the great people from the ITSS department of University of Minnesota – Duluth have built out an amazing archive of some of the best web design articles, tutorials and references from all over. The reference covers topics ranging from accessibility to usability.

Page redirection can be accomplished very easily and can be well received by users. In order to best satisfy the needs of search engines a 301 redirection is the optimal way to redirect pages across your website. A 301 status code means “moved permanently” and can be accomplished very easily with some slight variations between coding platforms. Ideally, you will want to focus more on the server side redirects. Client side redirects are prone to issues if users or search engine spiders can’t read javascript.
HTML Redirect
<html>
<head>
<title>301 Moved Permanently</title>
<meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”4;url=http://www.yakiji.com/newpage.html”>
</head>
<body>
<h1>301 Moved Permanently</h1>
This page has moved. You will be automatically redirected to its new location in 4 seconds.
If you aren’t forwarded to the new page,
<a href=”http://www.yakiji.com/newpage.html”>http://www.yakiji.com/newpage.html</a>.
</body>
</html>
ASP Redirect
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Response.Status=”301 Moved Permanently”;
Response.AddHeader(“Location”,”http://www.yakiji.com/newpage.html”);
Response.End
%>
ASP.NET Redirect (without tracking)
<%@ Page language=”c#” %>
<script runat=”server”>
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {
Response.Status = “301 Moved Permanently”;
Response.AddHeader(“Location”, Link);
}
</script>
