Re: Redirect From Old Ecommerce Site To New Ecommerce Site

If you do use a bot file with nofollow then you will lose all of the old page info like age or URL and page rank. You would need to use a 301 redirect. Like others said there are several ways to do it it all depends on the tools and access level you have. But putting a bot file to not follow would be like starting over from day one and is not the way to solve this.

Great question, let us know if you resolve it. My only suggestion may be to put googlebot do not follows on the old urls if you can access it via ftp, then link up the new urls on the new site. Alternatively try 301redirects, but again u will need access. Hackit?jk!

Subject: Redirect From Old Ecommerce Site To New Ecommerce Site

I have an eCommerce site that was recently moved from one host to
another. It was also moved to a completely different shopping cart
therefore the structure and URL are different.

The move took place 12 days ago but has not been indexed for the new
pages. All searches reveal the old URL which now longer exist so I am
getting very little traffic and a lot of 404's.

I don't have access to the old host (hence the move) to create
redirects.

I was thinking maybe giving some new pages URL the same as the old
database and redirecting to the new page but the old URL also include
\item_84\page-url.htm

Any ideas please? I'm open to any and all constructive ideas

thanks
