Hi all, i have one big query that We are moving 3 sites from a .Net platform to the Magento platform. All have invested already a lot of money in SEO rankings. We will be changing the server (so maybe a DNS change) as well as some of the links that might be in .aspx will be in .php. The key Goal: These sites already have good SEO rankings and client wants to minimize any loss in rankings during the move. this is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiNV12JP0jg on in this he suggest that if we can manage to do 301 Redirect with OLD pages like http://www.your-site-name.com/index.php WHICH has PR 4 to with this new page of http://www.yoursitename.com we can manage to got the Same Google PR. but i know it's affect Google SERPS as well. so my Questions is that: (1) Can we mange to get Same Google PR. with new Domain and pages which my OLD pages have. (Google PR 4) (2) Can we mange to get Same Google SERPS or it's in Google Sendbox? please give me solution of this issue your all reply on that highly appreciated. Regards
The main domain.com won't change PR etc but subpages will if you rename them from .asp to .php because they will then be new URL's. You can actually rewrite your php extension to display as asp in the browser. If you want, you can even make a URL as a .hi extension or anything you want. So if you rewrite the PHP URL's to asp, nothing will change. The best solution of course is drop extensions in the beginning so you just have Site.com/my-page then these problems never come up.
