minty Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hi Everyone, I have been designing a new website for my company and will soon be ready to upload it to replace the existing one, I have never "replaced" a website before are there any common mistakes that people make? My old website didnt rank very well, but it still ranked a little, am I going to completely loose any previous ranking with google? Also how should i go about replacing the whole thing? Just delete the old pages and documents and upload the new ones? Any pointers will be greatly appreciated. thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niche Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I have a dummy site in which I test upgrades. Unless it's a static site, problems are bound to occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsonesuk Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Try (if document name different from original) to redirect old web page content to new using permanent 301 redirect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
