Hey guys,

What is the easiest way to change the location of a web page without losing it's search engine rankings, etc.

For example, if I wanted mysite.com/coolpage.html to become mysite.com/mynewcoolpage.html what is the best way to do this?

Thanks!

  • The safest way to redirect old web pages to the new pages or old web site to the new web site and keep the same search engine rankings is to use the 301 redirect. It will also pass on the page rank from your old site to your new site.


    Code:
    redirect 301 /coolpage.html http://www.mysite.com/mynewcoolpage.html
    or if you have a cpanel account, you can do the same there and it will add your
    setting to the .htaccess file for you

    • Oh ok. So I simply have to add that line with the correct links to my .htacess file?

      That is a whole lot simpler than I had thought!

      Thanks.
