I have a pile of old urls that Google can not find. I am trying to set up a simple 301 redirect and although doing something, in the htacess file, like:
301 redirect /old-page http://mysite.com/new
… does take people to mysite.com/new, it adds “?sef_rewrite=1” to the end of the url.
I have read several forum postings dating back to 2 years ago, and I'm not sure if that is my problem but none of them work.
What is the best way to handle this? I have a list of my old urls and the new ones.
Does Cs-Cart have a helpguide on this? It seems rather complex to do redirects with this cart, and meanwhile I have a ton of dead urls.
Thanks.
This one has helped me a lot. Just separate your old and new url with a comma, and the generator does the rest.

Didn't work for me. Thanks anyway.
Did you paste them in the right place in the .htaccess-file? Try placing them directly under: RewriteEngine on
