"Undo 301 permanent redirect"

"301 permanent redirect"

[xdrone]

I needed to update google with our new .asp URLs vs .htm URLs so I inserted:
<%
response.status = "301 Moved Permanently"
Response.addheader "Location", "http://www.url.com/page.asp"Response.End
%> on the top of my pages! I fear of loosing my ranking
I would like to undo this, any suggestions!

Could you clarify what you want to undo? The way understand it now, is that you just need to remove the redirect header.

We recently redesigned our website using “.asp”. Our old site design used “.htm” extensions. All our “.htm” pages are listed in Google with powerful rankings. We re-directed these .htm pages to the new .asp pages by inserting the following code in:

<%
response.status = "301 Moved Permanently"
Response.addheader "Location", [url.com...]
Response.End
%>

Unfortunately, after the last Google update, our site fell from PR6 to PR5 for the first time. To avoid dropping in SE rankings and possibly falling off the SE’s altogether, we have decided to revert to our old .htm site.

Can this be done by simply removing this “redirect” code or are there any risks which I have not considered?
