I have a keyword "Numph" that I want to rank for. Before knowing much about SEO I got the homepage to rank on page 1 which still shows on the first page www.projectsclothing.com Then I decided to optimise the right page and chnaged the url names so they were seo friendly. So i optimsed the following page for both numph and numph clothing http://www.projectsclothing.com/manufacturers/numph-18/ I can't seem to find this page However, the inner pages seem to show up on page 4 or 5 for example: http://www.projectsclothing.com/numph-elder-green-cardigan-596.html Could anyone enlighten me please, I'm new to the whole google game but can't find the products listing page anywhere. I'm wondering how google handles newly named pages, will google see it as a new?? The old name was something like http://www.projectsclothing.com/manufacturers/hsdd832737434/ which redirects to the new page name. btw the site about 2years old
when you change the URL you will lose your PR. In your case it's a new page so you will need to get indexed and ranked again. Send some links to the new page(s) and as long as your home page has the PR is will help.
As dadeon said, when we are changing the URL, also changed. Because PR is updated frequently in few times for an year. Have a nice day Blog.
Also, don't trust that little 'green bar' too much. It's notoriously outdated. Google updates rankings daily as they are crawling non stop. the data reflected in the green bar is only indicative and gets updated haphazardly - mostly once every 2 months.
