That said, today I had a quick refresher question about the SEO benefits of 301 redirects relating to pushing a www site to a non-www site (Canonical Situations).

I came across this excellent article at SEO-Consultant-Services.co.uk which answered the questions I was looking for and it also answered the typical questions that most people ask when they are looking for 301 redirect solutions.  I have come across a number of similar articles on 301 Redirects in the past, but this one was easy to understand, easy to implement, and very comprehensive in covering all of those 301 Redirect tangents that will eventually confront a web site owner.

I have no relationship to this site, they do not sponsor me in any way, but I would highly recommend web site owners to bookmark this link.  You are going to need it someday, and Google as good as they are sometimes, rarely returns a reliable result on 301 redirects!

Note, the CSS was a little hosed up on this site when I visited.  I’d guess that they updated the theme and did not check this older article on the new theme.  Regardless the content is good.  I prefer things to look good, but I’ll take great content any day.

The program cruises through the building of a sitemap or even a robots.txt file for your site.

It will even connect to your site via ftp and upload the file automatically if you want to do that or you can upload the sitemap manually.

You can also create an html Sitemap file and complete many other functions as well.

Note. I do not recommend this product for a WordPress blog.  For that, I’d recommend a plugin.
