I was just ready with my .htaccess file but:

i've got another problem now. I just figured out that my clients webaccount does not support the .htaccess file.

I thought of a solution, can someone tell me if this will work in order to not loose my pagerank (Google).

My thought is:
if i keep all old pages for about 2 months, put a NOINDEX NOFOLLOW in the robot META, than if spiders come by in the next few months they will index my new pages and delete the old indexed ones.
In all old pages will be a link to the new page location.

Will this work (or won't they delete the old ones and just add the new ones)

Thanx in advance

Koen

Yes. That will work too.

Get the new site online. Allow all pages to be spidered.

Put noindex,follow on all pages of the old site and link all of the old pages to the new pages on the new site. You need a "follow" so that search engines will be able to go to the new site.

Contact as many of the sites that link to your old site as is possible, and ask them to adjust their link to point to the new site.

Allow a month or so for the new pages to be listed and the old pages to be delisted.
