Redirect - "Search Engine Friendly"

Question

<%
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently";
Response.AddHeader("Location","
http://www.moreproductinfo.com/index.asp");
%>
Was looking at a site that had the above code as a
recommendation to add
to a page to "correctly" pass on information to search
engines.
I thought it should go with my redirect but I end up with
errors in ASP
<%
If Request.Querystring() = "" Then
Response.Redirect("index.asp")
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently";
Response.AddHeader("Location","
http://www.new-url.com/");
End If
%>
This is what the actual redirect looks like... It looked
right to me but
it comes up with errors:
Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0401'
Expected end of statement
/1.asp, line 262
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently";
---------------------------------------^
Any ideas how this should be implemented? Do I put it on the
page I'm
redirecting from or to? Where on the page, does it matter?
Formatting?

Answer 1

yeah, you don't need the brackets :
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location", "
http://www.mysite.com/new-page.asp"
%>
