Scrapping a Website gracefully - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

Lavish · 08-06-2008, 02:33 AM

Hey guys,

I have a wordpress blog up at a domain I currently own and I want to scrap that and make it more of a product page now - still using Wordpress though. I know that my site is optimized fairly well for Google but I also know if I just flip it I'm going to destroy everything. Is there any way to change the entire page gracefully? I need to flush my current RSS feed and establish a new one, with all product pages etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Jay

301 redirects?

That will come in use for the future, cheers.

I'm talking about something different though. My pages are indexed in Google right now through the Wordpress Sitemap XML plugin. When I remove all the posts/pages and add a new theme, completely redesigning the entire site, my domain goes through the shitter. Is there anyway to do this gracefully so my new page doesn't get drilled by Google?

I understand what you want, and 301 redirects are still a solution

Or, you can use mod_rewrite:

Code:

Redirect permanent /<old_url>    <new_url>

This way, the ranks should be preserved when moved from old to new url.

Apologies my man, I'm still an amateur in this area.

I think I'm beginning to see what you mean.

Working with spa packages fashion designer clothing at lavish.com as the domain if someone was to enter that URL I just want my new page to display - in that same URL. From my knowledge, 301 redirects would be if someone typed in spa packages fashion designer clothing at lavish.com and it redirected to www.someotherpage.com.

Am I on the right path?

Houdas, you were on point.

For anyone reading this thread - I got more information about this at Steven Hargrove : How to redirect a web page, the smart way

Thanks.
