redirect

[chlori]

Good day

I would like to redirect *all* visitors to another page.

http://www.page1.com --> http://www.page2.com/dir11

I have heard of "meta redirect". Is that the right thing?
Can I redirect visitors with some kind of server config (maybe
..htaccess)? How?
Will search engines find the second page?
Can I redirect *everyone* (all browsers, ...)?

(Sorry, don't have an URL yet)

TIA

Yes if you have Apache...

How? http://www.outfront.net/tutorials_02/adv_tech/htaccess_magic2.htm

Will search engines find the second page?

Yes... eventually

Can I redirect *everyone* (all browsers,
...)?

Yes.... they will all be redirected...

No. So-called meta redirects rely on a few broken things (a non-standard
HTTP header, for one).

Can I redirect visitors with some kind of server config (maybe
.htaccess)? How?

Yes, if you have Apache put this is a .htaccess file:
Redirect page1.html page2.html

Will search engines find the second page?
Yes.

Can I redirect *everyone* (all browsers, ...)?

In the rare case of a browser which doesn't understand HTTP redirects, a
normal text link will be given.

Thanks Leif and Davmagic!

Can I just add that to my .htaccess-file on an new line?

Is the oder important (Redirect, IndexIgnore, ...)?

Yup.

Shouldn't be.
