: Redirect page to symlink So I have 2 URLs that basically link to the main url using a symlink maindomain.com englishdomain.com -> symlink to maindomain.com frenchdomain.com - >

So I have 2 URLs that basically link to the main url using a symlink

maindomain.com
englishdomain.com -> symlink to maindomain.com
frenchdomain.com - > symlink to maindomain.com/fr

When someone actually lands on maindomain.com/index.php it will automatically redirect them to the appropriate symlink

The problem I'm having is I think it's affecting my google ranking and I'm not sure why..

this is my redirect code

$url = "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

if ( $url == 'http://www.maindomain.com' || $url == 'http://maindomain.com') {
header('Location: www.englishdomain.com/'); }
if ( $url == 'http://www.frenchdomain.com' || $url == 'http://frenchdomain.com') {
header('Location: www.frenchdomain.com/fr'); }

Is it possible that it's affecting my google ranking?

: I often use GenerateData.com, which has lots of data types you can use and can generate SQL code as well as CSV etc. Don't know how well (or if) it would handle millions of rows, though.

In addition to mawtex' answer (which I believe is correct):

// 301 Moved Permanently
header("Location: /foo.php",TRUE,301);

...should do the trick. But please test this thoroughly.

According to php.net/manual/en/function.header.php the header('Location: www.example.com/') command will send a 302 redirect to the client.

You should use a 301 redirect if you want to 'transfer' the SEO Gold on example1.com to example2.com.
