301 Redirect
When you've redesigned pages on your web site or upgrade your site, it is a great idea to use 301 Redirect to redirect web site traffic from old pages to new pages without losing search engine rankings. When implementing a 301 redirect, it's important to do this for every page on your website so that you don't lose any rankings. Assemble a list of redirects, using the following format:
Redirect 301 /old.htm http://www.you.com/new.htm
Redirect: The location has changed
301: permanently
: there's 1 space
/aboutus.shtml : the old location was X file (is always /relative path)
http://.... : the new location is (must include http://)
While this may seem to be a tedious process, especially if you have a great number of pages, it is an important part of the process and will help maintain your search engine rankings. For more information on redirect 301, check out this article.
