Permanent Redirection

301's

[Krapulator]

Does anyone know how Fast/All the Web handles 301 redirects?

Thanks heaps in advance.

They should have no problem handling the redirect. Old page out, new page in.

Have you experienced anything else Krapulator?

I changed directories for part of a site several weeks ago with a 301, they're reflecting the new one now. No problem.

No nothing like that, I'm just about to make some similiar changes to Marcia and I just like to do a little research before I make big changes.

Thanks for the advice: -)

I redirect www.domain.com to domain.com and Fast is having a very hard time working it out, googlebot no problem. I wrote to them about it but no response.

I'm having a hard time getting Fast to drop some old pages that have 301s on them... while others seem to get reasonably prompt attention. I've resubmitted, with no effect in 3 months. These are 301s that Google figured out pretty quickly. Resubmitting pages that return 404s does seem to work.
