I'm converting a static site to DNN. I anticipate a problem with my search engine ranking falling after the move because all the page URLs will change once in DNN.

What's the best way to do this and keep my search engine ranking.

Do I just make a bunch of redirect pages that forward to the new pages in DNN?

I'm sure many have been down this road, what's the standard way of handling this?

Thanks in advance.

You'll want to setup a 301 redirect for each page that tells the search engines the new location of the files. You can setup page level 301 redirects via IIS

Thanks Chris. I'm on an Apache server on the host I'm moving from but I assume I can do something similar with Apache.

When I redirect to the new site/page in DNN how will the search engines handle it? There is actual content on my static pages but when the spiders come to spider my new DNN site all the content is in a database. How does this all work out?

I'm just worried that even when the spiders are redirected to the new site/pages that they won't see any content and drop my page ranking.

Also, what do I use so Google does not link to a link like this... http://www.codejot.com/Home/tabid/37/ctl/Terms/Default.aspx

but instead links to a link like this... www.CodeJot.com/goodinfo.aspx

Is that what friendly URLs are all about?
