Question about "Redirects"
« on: January 10, 2011, 06:09:00 PM »
I attempted to redirect an "article" page of my website to the home page of my website.  My article page is getting some search engine traffic; however, I'd like that traffic to land on my home page.  ANYWAY, I used my hosting site's c-panel and redirected the pages accordingly.  From inside the c-panel, it appeared to work fine; however, it's been a 1/2 hour and the article page is not redirecting to the home page. 

Am I being impatient, or should it have already been redirected?

What is the url? You might be loading it from browser cache. You can also redirect with a meta refresh.

Doing redirection of your site is OK but it have many compilations like It take time to redirect and if you site having adsense ads then it is against the policies.
