Redirect tool - really good

[daniel]

I have found a really good redirect tool ( with the help of Paz ) that allows you to check the server response.

A common problem with domain setup is not redirecting your domain to the same domain, but without the www. This can cause a penalty in Google for duplicate content.

eg:

http://yourdomain.com, must be permanantly redirected to http://www.yourdomain.com

All these types of redirects NEED to be permananent, ie: 301 redirect

The link to the tool is http://seopen.com/seopen-tools/header-checker.php

Handy tool.

You can actually code this yourself using your some simple AJAX (javascript). When using the httpRequest object, you can specify what results you want back - including the header. Thats almost certainly what this tool does.

Because it's javascript, the same script will work on any environment. PHP, ASP, etc...

A minor leap in imagination tells you that there's all sorts of things you could extend such a script to do - or variations of it. We use it for checking and extracting meta data from remote client pages.
