Site Redesign with New URLS

For a variety of reasons, we are re-designing our web site. This will be a major overhaul and the URLs to most documents will change.

I know that google will take a while to pick up the new documents, so I was wondering what strategy is best to prevent our pages from being lost in google. I do not simply want to point people back to the home page as we have some deeper links that land on specific product/service related pages.

I have considered using meta-refresh to redirect people to the appropriate new page. However, the latter may cause problems with google as many of these pages get visited by freshbot.


The other idea was to use mod_rewrite to make the re-design transparent. We would leave the rewrites in place until google has indexed the new layout.

That what I do with old pages (real code):

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Moved</TITLE>
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1; URL=index.htm">
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
window.location.href = "index.htm";
// End -->
</script>
</BODY>
</HTML>
