Change of URL address

Hosting
1

My url address was http://www.domainname.com/keyword.html (with a pr of 5)

i changed it to

http://www.domainname.com/keyword

and the pr is gone as well as my ranking in search engine. What to do? :slight_smile:

If you used 301 redirect on the server you will have your PR saved. No worries.

If your host is running apache you can create a .htaccess file in your document root with the following:


Redirect permanent /keyword.html /keyword

That way, when google (or a regular visitor) goes to /keyword.html they will be told that site has moved to /keyword and google will give the PR from /keyword.html to /keyword

Of course if google already crawled /keyword.html, encountered a 404 error and removed the site from it’s index I’m afraid your PR is gone …

try to revert back and see :slight_smile:

I have changed it to wordpress… so from html to wordpress… can I take back my pr? or what?
