I have a site on Google which is about 3 years old with lot of pages. The site also has quite a lot of incoming links. Recently I completely changed the site including the structure of the website.
Now its been about 4 months since I changed my site and Google has only indexed about 200 of the new pages, rest of the pages are old and returns a 404, I have put a redirection for some but not all.
I looked at the Google cache and it seems all the old pages were cached in January 2005, that’s one and half years ago. How can I get Google to reindex the full site and drop the old pages. Only way I can think of is to completely switch off the site, so Google thinks the website is no longer available and drops all the pages , after that I switch my site back on. The problem with this is the site might loose lot of rank...
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks
David
