Why redirection 301 is important for SEO

When web application files are moved to another location it is important to redirect to new location . For permanent change it is necessary to make search engines to redirect the transfer to new location . With 301 redirect search engines will eventually transfer the value of all old established inbound links .

How to access it ? In Apache configured server then it is important to access .htaccess file .

Case 1 )

Google reads both URL , if you have linkedin.com or www.dhirubhai.net so to make sure all users redirects to one Url instead of multiple urls and to permanently removal of ambiguity from Search engines just grab .htaccess file and uncomment these codes .

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^somewebsite.com [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.somewebsite.com/$1 [L,R=301,NC]

Case 2)

If you multiple pages in website and would like to redirect the users to one page itself then also 301 redirect is helpful . For example . if i have pages in my website www.welcome.com/pageid=1? and www.welcome.com/introduction and www.welcome.com/aboutme also relate to one information , we could redirection to one page .

Same implies for websites as well if you want to redirect all users of old well established web app to your newly created domain ( new web app) .
