301 redirects from several sub-pages to one sub-page

[MarieA]

Hi!

I have 14 sub-pages i deleted earlier today. But ofcourse Google can still find them, and gives everyone that gives them a go a 404 error. I have come to the understading that this wil hurt the rest of my site, at least as long as Google have them indexed.

These sub-pages lies in 3 different folders, and i want to redirect them to a sub-page in a folder number 4.

I have already an htaccess file, but i just simply cant get it to work! It is the same file as i use for redirecting trafic from mydomain.no to www.mydomain.no, and i have tried every kind of variation i can think of with the sub-pages.

Has anyone perhaps had the same problem before, or for any other reason has the solution, and can help me with how to compose the htaccess file?

You have to excuse me if i'm using the wrong terms, missing something i should have seen under water while wearing a blindfold, or i am misspelling anything. I am neither very experienced with anything surrounding seo or anything else that has with internet to do, nor am i from an englishspeaking country.

Hope someone here can light up my path Thats at least something you can say in norwegian...

Hi,

Use;

Redirect 301 /olddirectory/example.html http://www.example.com/newdirectorylocation.html

keep in mind that it is relative to document root, and if you have spaces in any of these, you will need to put quotation marks around like so...

Redirect 301 "/olddirectory/example 2 of 2.html" http://www.example.com/newdirectorylocation.html

hope this helps!

w00t!
