JeffOstroff - Thanks for your most helpful post.

I just put up the .htaccess file and ran again the
seoconsultants tool, this was the result.

Seems ok does it not?

Now..,

"Are you sure that Google is indeed crawling your pages and updating them? It seems odd that your 301s did not take hold, when ours took only a week to take hold."

You may be on to it here. The pages were suplemental for a while so I suppose it is possible that they are not being crawled. That is one reason why I waited ten months.

OK now comes an embarassing admission on my part.. I have no idea how to check if a particular page is being fetched by Google or not.

How do you do that? My use of web statistics is confined to webalizer and I a few other programs that my host offers. Is there an easy way to find this out?

Thanks.
