I Think This is a Question About "Redirects"

Hi,

I have 2 clients that are thinking about making some web site
changes and that brings me to the following questions.

Client #1 has a static site that has been up for 2 years.
He has all of his pages indexed in Google.

He wants to go to a Wordpress site. How do you do this
without losing all of the indexed page links?

Client #2 similar problem, client has an eCommerce site
and wants to change to a different platform for a number
of good reasons. He has over 4,000 pages indexed.

Is it possible to change without losing all of that love?

Thanks,
Blase

    Use a 301 on those pages and they will be fine.. or keep the same permalink structure. Most shopping carts allow you to export and import from each other.

      I kind of figure it was 301s, but I thought I better check.

      I was not aware that carts can import and export and keep the same
      link structure. I have to dig into that.

      Thanks Mick.
