Geeklog Forums

I am getting ready to switch over to my GL site. I am ranked pretty well by Google and other search engines. My current site is at:

My GL site is at: http://www.antiques2.iantiquesguide.com/.

Can anyone give ma an idea as to how to handle this?

Thank you in advance,
Jack

How to handle what?

Assuming you want to switch over the site to Geeklog: You could tell your webserver to redirect requests for the old pages to the new ones. With Apache, you could do something like

Redirect permanent /old/url http//www.example.com/new/url

in a .htaccess file. Google honors this and will pick up the new URLs (eventually).

Also do a search here on the site for other search engine tips.

Will I loose position?

Only Google can really answer that ...

FWIW, we've switched a German Mac user's group website over to Geeklog some time ago and it never lost its #1 spot (for a particular search term). As Google weighs links pointing to the site highly, the switch shouldn't have a lot of impact anyway.
