    Hi,
    I have moved my old site to new web site.I redirected all the pages except the main page of the old site. I want to keep it.
    I used the .htacces file and used the rewrite engine rule.
    My site contains around 5000 pages.
    But I did n't replaced all my old files which points to new location. It uses .htaccess file intsead of it. So when ever a user clicks on
    oldpage -> it goes to new page using the .htaccess 301 redirection .

    Now I do have the Old page Sitemap already uploaded to Google webmaster tools. Now google has reported some warnings like "Too many 301 redirections from your pages" . This is because I actually did n't make changes in that web page to new site. It uses the old address and uses the redirection.

    Now I have two options
    1) Change the old pages point to new location
    2) Cahnge the site map to point to new target location.

    Here is my question which is better option 1) or 2) so that it smoothly tranfers the page rank with out any problem.

    Or the method I am using is wrong..?
    Please Help me..
