"301 Moved Permanently" Questions

[Artprints]

I have a site artprints that sells posters and prints. On that site I had a section of about 60,000 pages of "Secondary Market" limited editions.

I made a new site artomania just for the limited edition prints for the page secmarketdetails.asp I did a "301 Moved Permanently" and redirected to the new page on artomania.

My questions is did I do this correctly or will I get screwed by Google somehow? I know how touchy they are lately and I don't want all my pages in supplemental when I wake up tomorrow!

if the pages are duplicated in both sites then you will have one dropped.... better of 301 redirecting all content pages to the appropriate new pages.

This can be done with the right wildcard usage... a programmer may have it handy

Yah, that's what I did. I took the ID from the old page that was being passed and used it to direct the traffic to the new page with the same ID.

I also changed the look of the new page so it wouldn't look like duplicate content. Just wanted to make sure I did it correctly.

for the page secmarketdetails.asp I did a "301 Moved Permanently" and redirected to the new page on artomania.If the pages are .asp are you on IIS? And have you made sure that all the "moved" pages are returning a 301 server header for sure?

Google seems to handle 301 redirects very well, but it might take a while for the PR to visibly accrue to the new pages. However, there's another search engine currently having issues with 302's, so make sure they're 301 and not 302.

Yah, The only matter is you have done 301 in a right way. Just check through some tools that tell your server header. You may go through this link : http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1B3GGGL_enIN231IN235&q=server+side+factors+in+Search+engine+optimizatio n&btnG=Search

Or you can also directly check your server header through webconfs tools and SEO consultants server header tools. Hope this helps you.
