    Guys i am fallen in an extreme condition regarding my current project. Actually, i am doing a wordpress project and everything was going fine. The posts which i publish in my blog gets indexed after an hour in google index. But, when i modify my wordpress blog for multisite functionality, i am fallen in this trouble. I dont know what i had done wrong. My problem is that all my pages relating my blog has been indexed in google as http://myblog.com/post/ but now i have noticed that i can't modify the permalinks of wordpress post and it has been modified as http://myblog.com/blog/post/. I dont know how that happened but when a user visits my site from pages indexed in google (which is what i mentioned above), they will get a 404 error page but, the error page has also been modified to show related posts and pages. Still, i am feeling like my hard work is pissing me off. For the current permalink also i had created sitemapindex and submitted to webmasters tool too. Now, is it a good decision to remove the indexed URLs from webmaster tools or i should continue my work as it is? I need suggestions....!!

    during modifying do you get any problem notice? if not then i think its better to wait for a while to see the final result by Google. yes, it takes time sometimes to re-index the page.

    Why did you change it? I would revert back to the old/original state and then use sub.domains for the other multi site projects.

    You should have never changed the link structure to begin with.

    Hi.
    you must wait for sometime, as Google takes times to index website.

    I think you got yourself in a pickle and with that just created a lot of negativity on your website.

    I do think it's not the end of the world for you too as a simple solution could be to get your website into Google Webmasters and then learn how to submit links that you want to remove from Google's index. That way these old links can be taken out and then sooner or later your new pages will be the one indexed.

    There is another solution that involves .htaccess but I think webmasters would do just fine.
