Hello, I have changed all of my pages on my websites to SEO friendly URLs. I noticed the increase on Page rank on some pages. However, there are more errors of pages not found on my log. I have changed from /index.php?id=1234 to /index/i-like-this-forum/. So, my question is, does anyone notice the same thing? Does my SEO pages affect Google page rank? Thanks a lot.
Make sure to do a 301 redirect form the old url to the new one in the .htaccess file. It will preserve the page rank too.
Now, are we referring to actual Google Pagerank or Google Search Results Positioning? If you're referring directly to Google Pagerank than as long as you properly 301 redirect all the old urls to the new urls the Pagerank value will properly transfer over by the next public update. In regards to Google Search Results you will see a fluctuation in rankings, but it should all return to normal in the near future AS LONG as you again properly 301 redirected your urls. URL changes don't usually have a negative effect, sometimes a null effect with little to no changes as long as the redirection was done properly.
Well,it effects the google page rank. But you must banish all of your doubts regarding the 301 redirect.You can search the term on google and have some handy information on the subject. ---Sar
