How to use these backlinks?

[Robin]

Recently, i have registered a dropped domain. And i found that it has two PR backlinks but these links dont point to the main domain(example.com) but they point to the folder(example.com/mysite).

Is there any way to force these backlinks to point to main domain(example.com) rather than the folder(example.com/mysite).

I dont want to create any folder.


thnx

301 redirects via htaccess

Are they pr3 or higher backlinks?

Otherwise dont bother.

I'd use an htaccess 301 redirect to the main domain for the folder.

Edit* MW... pretty quick for your age!

:lol:

You can find more information about doing 301 redirects here:

And if possible, you can contact the owner of site where the backlinks are placed: to change them to point to the new location.

Here is code for your .htaccess file:

redirect 301 /mysite http://example.com

This will redirect requests for example.com/mysite to example.com home page. This is a search engine friendly redirect, so Google will count those backlinks.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but I've got a similar question and didn't want to make a new topic.

I just recently registered a domain that dropped awhile back, but still has backlinks. These are all for high dollar financial keywords and there are even a bunch of links from an .EDU. The vast majority of the links are using prime anchor text and are pointing to html files on the domain, such as domain.com/debt-consolidation.html

I want to setup Wordpress and create similar categories, then redirect the domain.com/debt-consolidation.html requests to domain.com/debt-consolidation/ If I use the 301 redirects, should this work out properly in preserving the backlinks to the new directories?

Yes. As long as the backlinks aren't removed by the referring sites, a 301 redirect should do the trick.

If any backlinks are generating decent traffic you should try to track those users usage of your website. Are they finding the information they were looks for? Are they converting for your products/ads? If not you should refine your landing pages.
