Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Olivier, The question that Matt is answering is quite specific - is a "coming soon" page bad for new domains as Google seems to prioritize new domains. The answer is "no" for this situation. The situation of your friend is quite different - he has an existing site which is generating some traffic. Unless your "coming soon page" is extremely interesting & rich in content, it will not rank for any keyword - basically you're reducing your site to a one page site, so bounce rate will inevitably be very high. If you want to proceed, you just have to put up a redirect rule that is redirecting all url's to the index page of your site (which would then be the "coming soon" page). rgds Dirk

Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteBase /example1/ RewriteRule ^example2/(.+)$ /$1 [L,R=301,NC] Try this.

.htacces is supposed to be in the root. It is a server file not a CMS file.

If you've removed all the spammy links and got back into Google's good graces, you should be fine.

There is a bit more complexity in using a cname, but a lot of big systems should be able to handle it as a standard thing, unless there is an inherit security risk. I use them both with freshdesk and maxcdn. Like take this http://cdn.dh42.com/certified.png   and this http://dh42.com/certified.png The one with the cdn prefix is actually loaded from maxcdn, but it just looks like it came from my sub domain. Same with my freshdesk account, it is at help.dh42.com, but it actually is on their server. I would prefer a cname to a 301, but sometimes you don't have a choice. Do you currently have anything at the site you are wanting to redirect to NJoyn? Or are your just looking to make it easier when you need to tell people where to go to?

No, a 301 redirect is a permanent redirect. So, if you went to /old-page it would auto-redirect you to the new domain's page. This prevents duplicate content across the domains.

Thanks, I'll go check it out

Hi Bigrat, I'm not sure what you mean by this... You can target anyone you like with your marketing efforts - whether it's something they're interested in or not is not something I can answer. Take a look at the Moz blog pages on using facebook for marketing, I'm sure you'll get an excellent strategy out of doing that! My one tip though is to always be honest: people can smell dishonesty even through their computer screens! Good luck, Amelia

I didn't realise that there was other Htaccess folder in the /en and /fr... But thank alot for the help and I will chek Regexr.com !
