301 redirect

[gorillakid]

Hi All,

I have just completed a 301 redirect on my site http://www.klinehimalaya.com and I was just starting a new campaign on SEOmoz and I got this message:

Roger has detected a problem:
We have detected that the domain www.klinehimalaya.com and the domain klinehimalaya.com both respond to web requests and do not redirect. Having two "twin" domains that both resolve forces them to battle for SERP positions, making your SEO efforts less effective. We suggest redirecting one, then entering the other here.

My only other question, is my .htaccess codeing correct and how long will it take to show it is correct in SEOmoz and online?

All ".htaccess" code:

AddHandler php-stable .php
**_Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

RewriteRule (.*).html$ /$1.php [R=301,L]_**

Lastly, I have recently changed all of my files from .html to .php is this going to hurt my SEO and is the code "RewriteRule (.*).html$ /$1.php [R=301,L]" going to fix the issue by redirecting the .html links to the .php pages?

Any suggestions or help appreciated.

Paul.

Hi Paul, Assuming you're trying to rewrite to the www. version, cold you try replacing your code with the following RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L] We use that code for all our redirects. Obviously an easy check is to try to visit the non-www version and see if it redirects to www. (Your current redirect doesn't.)
