301 a large site in ASP

[Molly]

Hi this is the first time I that I have done anything like this before but we are rebuilding a large website and we want to make sure it doens't lose it good ranking within the search engines. So we were thinking of using 301 to tell google where the pages have moved to.

The problem is I'm not really sure where to start to impliment something this. We have a website that has 26,200 indexed pages, so I need to come up with somekind of solution that would work across the board.

Has anyone ever done something like this? Where would I start? Is there any software built on the market that might help?

Any help appericated.

You cannot keep all those 26k pages. If there'll be a recode, there'll be a reindex. However, Googlebot visits High-PR pages more frequently, so if the initial site was succesful enough, you'll get your status in a few weeks back at google (and other search engines of course)

A quick way to get all the pages back in is to set up a google sitemap. If you need help with setting that up I've done a few and can help out (though it's not hard). I recommend doing it as you get interesting data from google about where your site ranks in its engine and which keywords are effective.brbr_____________brbrVisit a href="http://www.piedmontdesign.com]Piedmont Design - Central Virginia Website Design /abr
