      I have a wiki (wiki 1) where many of the pages are well index in google. Because of a product change I had to create a new wiki (wiki 2) for the new version of my product.

      Now that most of my customers are using the new version of my product I like to redirect the user from wiki 1 to wiki 2. An example of a redirect could be from wiki1.website.com/how_to_build_kitchen to wiki2.website.com/how_to_build_kitchen.

      Because of a technical issue the url I redirect to, needs to have a parameter like "?" so the example will be wiki2.website.com/how_to_build_kitchen?

      Will the search engines see it as I have two pages with same content?
      wiki2.website.com/how_to_build_kitchen
      and
      wiki2.website.com/how_to_build_kitchen?

      And will the SEO juice from wiki1.website.com/how_to_build_kitchen be transfered to wiki2.website.com/how_to_build_kitchen?

        I would try to use a Mod Re-Write with 301 to handle the new url with the ? attached. That way your old domain points to the new domain with 301 taking into account the ? at the end.

        This may do it...

         <ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On
          RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com$ [OR]
          RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com$
          RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1? [R=301,L]</ifmodule> 
        

        I'm not a pro at Apache re-writes but when I get stuck on coding unfamiliar things I love Stackoverflow just don't get offended by the Elite snobs 🙂

        • How do you 301 redirect URLs with a hashbang (#!) format? We just lost a ton of pagerank because we thought javascript redirect was the only way! But other sites have been able to do this – examples and details inside
