[SOLVED] Need help with .htaccess

guessity · 10-21-2010, 01:17 PM

For some reason google is indexing my site with the following for all the urls

Code:

?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

like

Code:

http://www.url.com/news/2010/10/people-live.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Can anybody help me do a 301 redirect so my final url is

Code:

http://www.url.com/news/2010/10/people-live.html

It should basically remove the odd stuff and redirect for all the urls.

Hi,

Use the following in a .htaccess

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^utm_source=(.*)
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.url.com/news/2010/10/people_live.html? [R=301,L]

Regards

I have over 500 urls with the same problem.

Is it possible to remove them in one shot rather then create 500 ood lines?

Sure.
Just give more details, like what is the generic form of the URLs you want to rewrire and how they should look after rewritting

The problem is all my urls are being indexed by google with the following in the end -

Code:

?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

I basically want to 301 redirect to the original link without it at end.

So you want to remove the QUERY_STRING (everything after the 1st ?)
If that's the case, you can use:

Code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^$
RewriteRule (.*) /$1? [R=301,L]
