..because I wanted to get rid of the .info already. I mean, yeah, everyone knows that a .info domain is cheaper than a .com or a .net, but more than that, .info just doesn’t have as much viewer “recall”, IMO.
So I was thinking I’d 301 the whole site, as I don’t want to lose the priceless link network I’ve built up the whole year. Then again, I don’t know how. Stupid riiight? I mean, I call myself an SEO and I don’t know how to 301 a site. Haha, my boss better not find this one out. LOL. Don’t get me wrong, I do know about tweaking .htaccess files to perform 301-redirect — we’ve done this several times with our e-commerce sites. What I’m not sure of is how to 301 a wordpress blog.
This is not the first time that I considered 301-ing this site. Before, I was able to successfully 301 this blog from it’s original pinkseo.info/ituloy-ansulong URL, but I needed Benj’s help with that. Gah. I’m still too tamad to think about the pros and cons, and the work I have to put up with, so for now, I’ll probably just do a URL-redirect. Haha. Unless Benj comes to my rescue again or somethin’.
But yeah, I just had to say.. Pinkseo.net is officially mine. I wanted to buy the .com, but it’s already taken. Boo.

Nice! I like the .net better than the .info! .info’s are for cheap people. Ouch. I have 2 .info domains pala. I’m cheap. LOL.
About the redirect thing, I’m thinking, install a wordpress blog on your new domain, but upload the same files and and use the same database.. then place a permanent 301 on the .htaccess of the old domain. Di ko lang sure, pero try mo daw to kung magwork:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?pinkseo\.info [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://pinkseo.net/1
Baka may iba pang effective at mas madaling solutions sa ‘net, search-search ka na lang, hehe. have fun moving!
