Well you odviously cant post that code in an html page if you wanna keep the old pages html but you can use this to redirect place the code below in the head section

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://yourdomain.com"/>

Change that 0 to the number of seconds you want it to wait before it redirect personally i'd just leave it at 0 then it will just redirect to the new site right away

my problem is that i am explaining with an example i have an old page say webdesign.htm which has got some trafic on google now when someone clicks on tht page i want him or her to redircvt to webdesign.php for that what i have to do? shld i keep both htm and php on my server ?

 

and i have heard it takes google 6-8 wks to understnd redirect 

 

 

You should really enable it on Apache and not PHP because apache negoiates with the client to see if they accept compression, if not it'll just send an uncompressed version.

 

To redirect all .html (blindly) to php create a .htaccess file and put this in it:

 

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^.]+).html$ /$1.php [QSA,L]

 

or you could just add .htm as a php handler.

well i tried ur method simple copy paste the code in notepad and save as .htaccess and save and upload the file but .htm are not redirecting to .php i have cam a cross thistut

 

and here is my link of one of me pagegraphicdesign.htm

 

graphicdesign.php

 

 

 

i have both php and html in my server

Have you followed the instructions in Google webmaster tools - go to your site in webmaster tools then pick Site Configuration then Change of Address - it gives you all you need to know there.

i have to make permanent 301 redirect for all of my pages or just the index page ?but anyhow my 301 redirect isnt wrking yet

 

cpanel has this feature but i want to discuss it with the webhost first

one more query i have both index.htm and index .php shld i have to make redirects for tht too or i just delete 1 index file

 

 

 

 

 

i have made redirect but now some pages with redirects are not opening or if opening they are taking much longer
