It will see a suffer of course. but within a week it will get back up.

login to your webmaster tool and and request there for removal or put robot.txt.

 

Interesting Post

 

Well, if you do this make sure that you will do 301 redirect to new url.

 

thnx it was a very useful topic

 

I learnt somewhere that 301 is black hat seo method ?

 

if you use 301 for clocking than it's black hat but if you use for your old url's to redirect on newer than it's recommended and white hat.

 

301 is fine. I use it whenever I have to use a new URL method.

 

Read this, if you're doing 301 redirect, this will let you know how you can do 301 without hurting your site's performance in Google search.

 

thanks that was a great resource

 

its hard to say..
may be take months to let Google updated.

 

yes, it will effect to your seo

 

It depends on how dramatic the changes are, even if you do a 301 from the old URLs, a sitewide change of hundreds or thusands URLs will make you site suffer for a few weeks, often months. In general I'd never recommend any major URL changes in existing projects, if they aren't absolutely neccessary.

 

If you are changing the URLs of pages in your site, then that will affect SERPs a lot. But if you properly 301 redirect the pages, you will get back your ranking in some time.

 

Oh yes, there will be a drop in SERP untill the new URLs get indexed..

 

I totally agree with the above, it's the best reference link you might get inhere

 

I created a excluded urls in robots.txt and sent an url removal request from webmasters tool and within 3 hours all were disappeared from index thanks for help.
