Redirect Old Blog To New Blog
Do you ever find difficulties losing your visitor when you wanna move your blog to another url? I have a way to solve that, and i have used it well. The entire traffic of the old blog really comes to the new one.
I have recently moved one of my blogs across domain. The old one is http://hokya.co.cc and i wanna move it to http://mas.hokya.com , the migration of the posts just work fine. Thanks for wordpress.
Now, I have built mas.hokya.com with the same content and url structure as the old one (hokya.co.cc). But, in the first day, my blog just only being visited by myself. I just don’t want to waste time to build up my traffic from the beginning as i used to. So, all i have to do is just redirect the traffic from my old blog to the new blog.
First of all, please make sure you have the exactly same url-structure or permalink, for example http://hokya.co.cc/2008/16/test has the same content as http://mas.hokya.com/2008/16/test
If the permalinks are same, you just have to follow steps below
- Login to your old blog’s host
- Choose file manager
- Create a txt file on computer named it as you want.
- Make sure it contains only this code
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://newblog.com/$1 - You can change the newblog.com with your new url
- Just upload it on the root directory
- Rename it to .htaccess
Everything just will be work fine as we expected…
