For example if you have a page called mysite.com/contact/ on your "old" site you should have no problem creating a contact page in your new WordPress installation which will now become mysite.com/contact/.<br /> Redirecting doesn't seem a good option since it'll just start indexing the page you're linking to .. which is a null operation.<br /> I believe google indexes your site for keywords and url - meaning that if you're keeping the same structure not much will happen - if anything your ranking will improve for your wished keywords, since the theme is optimised. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/replace-existing-iweb-page-by-wordpress-existing-seo-google-ranking#post-35237 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 12:43:26 +0000 wenv 35237@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>at this moment I have an iweb-page wich is very succesfull in the SEO google ranking. </p> <p>Now I've developped an whole new Wordpress-site (of course!!;-)) and want to set this one live on my domain, but... I'm afraid I will lose this beautifull google ranking?</p> <p>A) What if I delete my iWeb-site totally and replace it with my brand new wordpress-site?<br /> - When people (in the first weeks) search on the same keywords and see the links of my iweb-page in google<br /> =&gt; will they get a 404-error message that the page does not exists anymore?</p> <p>B) Is there a way to "redirect" the iweb-page to my new site? So I won't have any problems at all?</p> <p>C) Other solutions for this?</p> <p>Thanks in advance!!<br /> Vanwero </p>
