Hi,
I have a problem.

When I upgraded my site "make money on internet" a swedish topsite from a regular html page to a blog page I lost my place from 7 to 61.

If I Seeking now on my site I can see there is passivapengar.se / index.html, the problem is that it says it can not find the page on the blog. I turn in passivapengar.se That brings me to my first page. How can i get google understand that my first/home page is only the domain passivapengar.se ???

I was uppgrading yesterday. Today i lost my position. =((
Please help me!

Regards

Kenneth C

    Hi Kenneth,

    Please accept my apologies as I'm not very familiar with blogs... But my immediate guess is that your drop is due to the change in your site's internal link structure. As I understand it, this is actually common when "upgrading" or "migrating" from static HTML pages to Blog pages.

    Perhaps you need to use an SEO Plugin as that may help boost your rankings.

    Also, a "trick" I've always used to tell the search engines that "MySite-dot-com" is the same as "MySite-dot-com/index.html" is to simply never link to the "index.html" page. Rather, always link to domain name (ie: "MySite-dot-com").

    Sorry I can't be of any further help; but I do hope that at least you've gotten some insight.

    Too bad! Anyway, can I ask? How do you know about your ranking? Did you manually click on the google page rank each?

    Thanks in advance!

      I just search on google with my top keyword,
      and I normally find my site on the first page of google position 7.

      now when I search I find my site on page 6-7 position 61

      I recently wanted to move 2 sites of mine that I had developed in ASP.NET over to Wordpress and beforehand knew that I was going to face a similar situation. I used simple redirection to point the .aspx pages to their Wordpress equivalents and started promoting the Wordpress pages.

      Very soon, Google started to index and rank the Wordpress pages and sent no more traffic via the .aspx pages. The only problem was where I had backlinks from other sites to the .aspx pages, so I had to manually go and change those links.

    You can set up 301 redirects for all of your previous URLs. It can be a pain, a little tedious, and very time consuming, but it is normally the best remedy over the long run. It will make sure that your previous backlinks get passed on to your new pages/posts and also make sure that anyone that visits your site from those backlinks won't land on an Error 404 page.
