Re-new my sites with new script, but how to remain the original links, indexed pagas,

Hi,

I am buying some new script to renew some of my sites.
Most of my site are PR3 and have backlinks and indexed pages.

How do I install the new script but still keep all my current PR, indexed page, etc.

I have been using this method, (but I dont' think it is good)
I create a new folder, say /newscript
then I install my new script under that directroy.
Then I forward the /index.html to /newscript/index.php
(but I keep the original /index.php active in case someone go directly to there.

Fyi, actually,I am referring to my Arcadesites,,,, I am using new arcade script on my current arcade sites.

Am I OK?

Thanks

 

Just try to keep the urls the same on the new version of your site.

If you do have to change the pages just 301 redirect the old version to the new version using htaccess:

There 2000+ pages my olds site.(cos there are about 2000 games in my old arcadesite, so )....... is there a way to redirect it effectively

 

Can you give an example of an old url and the new one you want to redirect to?

 

old one is www.arcadegames.name
new one is www.funnyarcade.org

thanks
