A Simple Search Engine Optimizing (SEO) Tips by using htaccess File

As bloggers, the Search Engine Optimizing (SEO) is always tempting since there is big traffic potential at search engine. I, my self, already did some of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for this blogging tips blog so can benefit from search engine (especially Google search engine) big potential traffic. One of the Search Engine Optimizing (SEO) technique that I use for this blogging tips blog is a simple permanent 301 redirect in .htaccess file. The permanent 301 redirect tells the web browser as well as the search engine spider that the site or the page which is accessing, has moved permanently to the redirect URL address.

We can use this permanent 301 redirect to solve the SEO issue regarding the WWW and non WWW blog URL address. It is said that if both of WWW and non WWW URL address is active, our blog search engine rank will be divided into two. It is means that our blog search engine rank is not optimum since it is divided. Therefore, to avoid the divided search engine rank, we should force the search engine to only use one of our blog URL address. It is okay whether it is the non WWW or the WWW URL address. For this blogging tips blog, I choose to only use the non WWW URL address. There is no particular reason for this choosing. It is that I just like the non WWW URL address.

Since already decided to use the non WWW URL address, I need to put the permanent 301 redirect code so the WWW URL address redirect to non WWW URL address. Here the code that I must put in this blogging tips blog .htaccess file:

# redirect if www.letupdate.com (case-insensitive) to letupdate.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.letupdate\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) [R=301,L]

I put the above code in very below of the .htaccess file by using my favorite ftp client, FileZilla. After put the code in .htaccess file, each time someone accesses the WWW URL address through the web browser, it will redirect to non WWW URL address automatically. This is also happened each time the search engine spider come and crawl this blogging tips blog. I hope this very simple blogging tips is really work to improve blog search engine rank so this blogging tips blog can reach the new blog rank level. For this blog readers, I suggest you to also try this simple tips since there is no harm in it.
