How to redirect Google to new webpages??

Hi all,

What's the best strategy to redirect google (and other SE) to new designed webpages.

Situation now is 210 pages indexed in google (some webpages in the old style). 1/ How can i make the old pages not indexed in Google?
2/ and / or redirect to the homepage
3/ should i just delete the old pages??

regards

 

If its wordpress you are using there is a plugin you can get, not sure what its called, but i'm sure a search will reaveal the answer, it redirects users from one page to another, but i doubt thats what you mean having re-read your post....?

 

hmm, i am not using wordpress for this particular website.

Now i like to use 301 redirects (so the pagerank still exists). But my old files are .html and .php so i can't use

<?php
Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
Header( "Location: http://www.domain.com/new" );
?>

Code (markup):

And i can't use .htaccess

How do I 301 redirect .html files????

regards

 

A 301 redirect is the best way for now.

 

Yeah right. I too have recently moved one of our portal to a new domain using 301 redirect. The migration was very smooth and the new site has got the same pagerank now. It will take some time about 2 to 4 months, but its the google recommended way.

 

try to remove from your webmaster tools "url removal" section

you must find or write a plugin for your cms

just remove your pages from your site. google will remove them on the next crawl
