SEO question about 301 redirects

    I just acquired a site that is a cluster of .htm & .html URLs.

    I want to clean it all up and will be doing some 301 redirects from all the .htm urls to .html

    The site only has about 30-40 urls.

    Has anyone done this and had their site fall from rankings?

    I doubt that a 301 redirect will drop your ranking if not raise it higher since it will remove duplicate contents.

    if u redirect your site with 301 redirect, then your SEO ranking surely will effect, but not much.
    but u have to continue with ur seo process with xtra efforts for your site.

    Can anyone explain to me what is the difference between a .htm and .html URL, they mean and look the same to me. And before you do a 301 permanent redirect then you should be very sure before you do it. You might lose your traffic and page authority.

    As i think that you will not loos your traffic because it's change on your end not on user end, on user end look and feel will be same, by using 301 redirect you can set a permanent redirect on your older page to newer page, it might be a less effect on your web page PR .
