Best way to redirect

[BaseballGuy]

Hello, I have an extremely small micro site that I built for a special occasion in my industry. Now that the occasion is over, I would like to redirect that site to my main site.

I searched online and could not find the proper way to do it. Yes, I know "Apache Redirect" but the information was really confusing to a quasi-noob like myself. Was wondering if someone could come in this thread and break it down step by step for us n00bs.

Than you.

Your best bet from an SEO and visitor-experience standpoint is to replace the page(s) on the micro-site with a page that welcomes the visitors, explains that the event is over (possibly with a short "news" article about what happened and "how'd it go"), and then link prominently throughout that article to relevant resources on your main site.

Otherwise, common user behaviour at being suddenly redirected away from the site that they requested to an unexpected and unfamiliar new place is to hit the back button or close the tab and go away. To avoid that, be polite and keep your visitors informed.

Similarly, search engines don't like surprises either.

If you wish to pursue the original plan, see the documentation at apache.org for mod_alias and mod_rewrite, either of which can be used to implement simple (and also not-so-simple) redirects. The resources cited in our Forum Charter and the examples given in the threads in our Forum Library may prove helpful as well (see links at top of this page).
