Redirects question

I have a static website that I wish to change to a dynamic one. Consequently, the urls are going to change for each page. As I understand it, this will result in the new pages being sandboxed.

Is there anything I can do to avoid this? What about 301 redirects or whatever they are called? If I use one of these for each page, do I have to do them immediately? How long does Google give before consigning your page to the rubbish heap?

Thanks,

Jon

Dynamic pages do not you have to have ugly urls. You can use mod_rewrite to turn the dynamic pages into nice crawlable urls that match your existing static page urls (assuming you are matching 1 for 1 with your new and old pages). This will make the spiders happy.
