When you’re developing a site you may find the need to change your pages around. Maybe you didn’t plan it well, maybe you reushed it to production, maybe you’re doing a friend a favor because they were handed a shoddy job by another developer.
Hell, maybe you read this post about dashes and are converting your pages from underscores.
How can I redirect a page and not hurt my SEO?
What we want to do is called a 301 redirect – which means “moved permanently” like I did from my last college apartment. You would, too, if you were there.
The code to do a redirect:

Other types of redirects (from wikipedia):
- 300 multiple choices (e.g. offer different languages)
- 301 moved permanently – The SEO Friendly option!
- 302 found (e.g. temporary redirect)
- 303 see other (e.g. for results of cgi-scripts)
- 307 temporary redirect
