How frequently do you write blog posts knowing that they've got a very limited shelf life, or post a news post knowing it'll be out of date in a months time?

All the time right? Then why not make the links garnered by those posts work for for you? A 301 redirect is the best way to do so!

Well, now there's a quick and easy solution for the more non-technical amongst us. SEP has developed a 301 redirect plugin for WordPress.


What Does It Do?

This plugin permits you to:

  1. easily 301 redirect any blog post or page (future or past) to any other post or page (internal or external site) by merely entering the url to redirect to.
  2. choose a specific time and date to have the redirect occur

When to Use:

  1. when the information in the post has a limited shelf life, and provides no value after the fact
  2. when you dramatically improve an existing post, and want previous less extensive posts to support the ranking of the new post
  3. when a post does not rank for the desired terms, redirecting and combining the link power of more than one post may secure the desired rankings.

How to Get it?
Simple .... merely download the file from here https://www.searchenginepeople.com/tools/wp-301redirect.zip

How to Install it?

How To Use it?
Simple ... enter the date you need the redirect to occur on, and the page/site you want the specified page redirected to. Voila ... done!

Enjoy!

I'm a sports fanatic, particularly hockey, but in reality just about any sport. If Toronto had a dog sled team ... I'd probably try to get season's tickets. Guess I'm fortunate ... I'm very happily married, and am a father of three spirited kids (two girls and a boy). They tend to like sports too ... imagine that. I've got an BA in Economics, and an MBA from Wilfrid Laurier University ... go Hawks go! I'm a tremendous fan of all things science and the internet, and particularly how the internet is changing our behaviours. I'm always looking to connect with more people interested in the same topics as I am, so I'd encourage you to "Friend me" in all the social media below if that's you too!

    Ah, awesome plugin, thanks guys for the tip! I was doing my 301s with htaccess before so this is a lot easier!

    This looks like exactly what I have been looking for. I have 2 blogs around a similar topic and stopped posting to one, so now I want to redirect all the posts on it to the other blog. Will go and try now!
