Hello everyone

I have a wordpress site at example1.com which I need to move to example2.com/folder1. Since I have a decent traffic on the site, I am quite apprehensive of how to go about it.

I was advised to place the following code in the header

# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example1.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example2.com/folder1/$1 [R=301,L]
# END WordPress

But I am not sure if this will suffice. I checked with an example redirection offered on the site. While it works beautifully, I also noticed that the two sites show separately on alexa.com (If I am not wrong 301 redirected websites redirect on alexa too).

I am kind of confused. Can you help?

Thanks
