My problem is that the search engines are spidering two different URLs for
each page, the old dynamic PHP URLs and the new "static" URLs. This is bad
for search engine rankings -- so I want to make sure that if the old dynamic
URLs are requested, the search engines get a "301 permanently moved"
response. Will that last Redirect Match 301 ([^/]+).htm$
http://www.site.com/$1.htm make the PHP URLs hidden? I don't understand the
syntax and am not sure what it will do.
Thanks for you help.
