    Hey guys well I am just moving my site from a none wordpress to a wordpress and it means changing the URLs of my site to new URLs.

    Basically what I want to know is how I would redirect a page called

    "http://www.back-links.org/blogging.php" to a new page "http://back-links.org/category/blogging/" whilst keeping all the PR and link juice.

    Thanks

    Hi, what I think you need to do is a 301 redirect, which is the correct way to redirect urls without loosing any page rank. Do a Google search for .htaccess 301 redirects and you will find the necessary code, also you need to let your link partner know your new url so they can update their links to your site. Hope this helps.

    If you are on apache read about rewrite rules and use 301 redirects. I will take some time before PR is reflected on new structure.
