How to stop Google indexing my dynamic pages and use static instead?

Using ISAPI rewrite

[skip donahue]

Hi there everyone,

I've currently set up an ISAPI filter on my site which is working great, and new pages have been indexed, how ever the link is the dynamic one and not the static URL?

ie.

[mydomain.com...]

should be indexed as

[mydomain.com...]

Is there anything I can do about this? I have scanned through some previous topics, how ever I am quite new to this, so apologies in advance if this has been asked before.

Any help / information would be appreciated.

Thanks
Skip

Hello Skip, and welcome to the forums.

Your old, dynamic-style urls should no longer resolve directly. Rather they should get a 301 (permanent) redirect at the server level, sending the user agent to the new, static-style urls. Also convert every link that you can find with the old style url to use the new, rewritten form.

Even then, it can take a while for Google to get it all sorted out -- maybe 4-6 weeks or so. But it should happen eventually, as long as you don't let the old-style urls resolve with a 200 (OK) http server header.

Hi Tedster

Thanks for the welcome and reply.

When you '301 (permanent) redirect at the server level' could I do this within with existing dynamic page and dynamically build up the redirect URL using the parameters I need?

Thanks

Hi

I think I have this working now, my pages seem to be redirecting OK.

Thanks
