Just upgraded my site and some of the pages that ranked well had to be renamed (htm to php). I kept all the old pages and did a javascript redirect in the <head> section just like this below. Is this a correct way to do this or should I do a mod rewrite for each one of those pages in .htaccess file? If so, what is the syntax for redirecting one specific page to another specific page?

Thanks


<script language="Javascript1.1" src="ei_vert.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">document.location.href='http://www.mysite.com/'</script>
</head>

Best way to do is to set up 301 redirect in .htaccess file. That will not only do the job or redirecting users to new pages but tells search engines old pages have moved to new location.

Thanks David, but what is the syntax for redirecting one specific page to another (i.e. I don't want to set up any rules)

Correct whatever you do for the redirecting, first important think is to set it so the old link will find the new one.
