For the sake of SEO, I need to change all of my page names. I read that I need to do a redirect, so if someone goes to my old page name, they'll get to the new one.

Can anyone tell me how to do this? I'm prepared for some tedious work--I have about 50 pages.

Thank you,
Windy

The best way to handle the redirects is through either htaccess or making changes to your httpd.conf file

If you go the htaccess route, all you would need to do is this:

Redirect /oldpagename.html http://www.example.com/newpagename.html

If you use our Website Access Manager program, it can help you setup a simple redirect that will take all pages on your Website that no longer exist and redirect them to your main Website.

Not bad. Worth it.
Since I didn't see any htaccess within coffeecup files, I'm assume I find the htaccess on my server? And, that I can log onto my server and make the changes? I don't have to do it via ftp.

Please let me know if I'm wrong about that.

Thanks!

htaccess files are something you have to manually create. Your hosting provider may offer that through their hosting control panel. Also, this only works for Linux servers, so if you are on a Windows server it will not work.

If you use our application, it will do all the work for you.
