I'm switching from .asp to .php format. (going from www.domain.com/index.asp to www.domain.com/index.php).

How can I ensure my page rank will remain? After making the DNS switch my page shows as 0. When I type in the exact URL (domain.com) into my browser, I see the PR5 for a split second and then it goes to my /index.php page (and back to zero PR).

Any advice?

Assuming you're using *nix, start reading up on mod_rewrite NOW!

You can configure your server so that a request for http://www.example.com/page.asp will (internally) become http://www.example.com/page.php without your visitor knowing.

No URI changes. No broken links. No sleepless nights.
