Retired web pages Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 29 August 2004 How do you replace a URL on your website and keep your search engine placement intact, and maintain continuity for anyone who's bookmarked the page and / or arrived via a search?When we replace a page, we don't simply scrap the old one - we also provide an onward reference in the old location for a year or so. Here's the script that generates the onward reference: Code:
Note: 1) that we can specify replacements in a file and / or as a list of parameters to this script. 2) the replaced page automatically refreshes forward to the new page via a meta tag, but there's a link too from crawlers and other browsers to follow 3) This page inlcudes NO CLUE AT ALL as to what was on the replaced page. This is intentional as we don't want it re-indexed and re-bookmarked - we want that for the NEW page! This page is a thread posted to the opentalk forum
