301 Redirect

Uramark

The SEOmoz crawl campaign found some 404 errors in my Joomla site poker-brands.ca.

So, I figured I would set up 301 redirects in my hosting account to make sure bots don't read that there is a page missing.

For example:

This link gave a 404 error in the crawl:

I redirected it to:

However, when I visit the first link it doesn't send me to the second link.

Am I supposed to get forwarded to the second link now?

I am not able to click on the link? I get an SEOmoz page?

Can you post the link again and make sure that that it is clickable to the correct address?

Also, when you are at it, post the method of redirect. Is it .htaccess or is it done in the code?

If done correctly, then yes you should be forwarded. So something is not correct.

is supposed to be forwarded to:

I used Cpanel on my hosting to create a 301. I didn't go into .htaccess. Is there code I should add to .htaccess when I do this?

Much appreciated,
