Site Redesign Best Practice
If you’re thinking of redesigning your website or changing your site’s architecture for any reason, its worthwhile to keep in mind the following SEO best practices:
-
Use the mod_rewrite (Apache) or ISAPI Rewrite (IIS) to map old URLs to new files
-
Analyse your major traffic entry pages and ensure that these pages are not deleted or changed unless it is absolutely essential to do so.
-
Do not permanently delete all pages until they have passed their popularity to the new pages on your site, this can be accomplished using the above mentioned 301 redirects
-
Contact link partners and ask them to change your link destination to new pages on your site.
If you follow the above 4 step you’ll ensure that you do not lose any traffic and popularity associated with you pre-designed site.
Good luck!
