My present site combines the sale of books and posters. If I relocate the poster pages to their own dedicated site, how do I redirect existing poster traffic to the new site without using the java redirects that Google apparently doesn't like.

You are running on an Apache server - presumably Unix / Linux in which case you would use .htaccess.

RedirectPermanent /oldpage.htm [newdomain.com...]

Save as a text file eg htaccess.txt then upload to the root directory where you have the pages currently and rename as .htaccess.

This is a search engine friendly 301 redirect.

Plenty of other useful threads on this - search site for htaccess
