Pre-Order Q: Converting Website Links

Pre-Order Q: Converting Website Links

Hi,

I have a website which has around 1000 links on it. They are static links, meaning they look like this:

 http://www.mydomain.com/reviews/review1/index.php

When I setup Storyteller, how is this going to change my previous links. I am active in Google, so I'm concerned about the page rank loss and indexing loss due to the potential of my pages being re-numbered in accordance with the Storyteller system.

Any help appreciated. I would imagine a few other Storyteller users had previous websites which had a lot of content to convert over, so any advice from them would be great too.

ok, this sounds like possibility. I would probably then redirect a few links at a time over a period of time, so that the entire site doesn't get hit too bad.

I'll probably have more questions soon. Thanks for the reply, Philipp.

There are two possibilities:

1) You could replace the links with redirection scripts. An example script:

<?php

header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://www.mydomain.com/review.php?id=1");
?>

2) You could use  mod_rewrite to imitate the old links. The following mod_rewrite rule should work:

RewriteRule ^reviews/review([0-9]+)/index.php$ review.php?id=$1
