Dear All, For better SEO purpose I have re-written my URL’s , now I have all new URLs, I have also generated sitemap ( not uploaded yet on Google webmaster’s tool ), now problem is : I was using Google webmaster tool earlier also where in I had submitted site map with old urls, I want to take out those urls and submit new sitemap, how do I do this without loose my page rank ( for some keywords my site comes on no1 ) Thanks in Advance Regards, Jitendra
Look up 301 redirects. You can redirect individual pages to their new pages. The 301 indicates it's a permanent change. You're very smart to ask this question, I just went ahead and blew up my sites...that's right plural and it took me a while to figure this out. If you have an .htaccess file, the lingo is: ##########Begin old site Redirection redirect 301 /youroldpage1.html http://www.yoursite.com/yournewpage1.html redirect 301 /youroldpage2.html http://www.yoursite.com/yournewpage2.html redirect 301 /youroldpage3.html http://www.yoursite.com ########## End Old Site Redirection The first two examples cause your old pages to be instantly redirected to your new pages. The third example shows you redirecting back to your homepage, instead of another specific web page. Depending on what you used to build your site, if you do this incorrectly, you can knock your entire site out. No extra spaces except where indicated! Your site will go back to normal the minute you fix or comment out whatever you put in the wrong way.

Quick reply will be highly appreciated
Didn't understand what you wrote, but...if you have done the redirections, then remove old map and replace using Google webmaster tools. Don't do the map, unless you've done redirection.
