Hello kuldipvyas, and welcome to the forums.

When you redesigned the website, did you change the URLs for the pages?

Well, This is true when you change the website, you will not be in the same position in search engine. Please check when you redesign the site....did you change the pages name ....and titles and description.

Remember..these are the three things that established a relation....
Check out...also check in google webmaster how many not found page errors do you have...

I would also expect the change over to cause problems. When we changed our website to include 'friendly' urls (such as domain/software_development to replace domain.aspx/showarticle?) Google took a very long time to register this. One solution was to add redirects, if the pages correspond and also apply disallow statements in your robots.txt file. Struggle on - it takes a while, but you can get there!

One solution was to add redirects

You should DEFINITELY add 301 redirects if you have changed your urls. If you haven't already done it this should be the first thing that you do. Blocking the old pages in robots.txt is a poor substitute for this.

kuldipvyas, did you MAJORLY redesign from HTML to FLASH or something else? That can slow things down quite a bit. fishfinger gives good advice regarding redirects. Redirects are a webmaster's best friend. HOWEVER, redirects are often, and years later, revisited by g and y and m now bing. Just accept that. As to ranking you'll have to give it more than a month to see the propagated results. Google looks like a monster but it is really millions of little computers in concentrated data centers that have to eventually talk to each other and share their bits and bytes and getting that monster updated is a monumental task. These things (updates) don't happen overnight, but a screwup is instantaneous.

[too much information]

I totally agree with the redirects from the old pages, if there are far too many to create redirect for each page maybe look into redirecting with htaccess if there is a simple method to your new pages names.

If you can't use htaccess it might be possible to create a script that will redirect from a database of changed page names that you could put into your 401 error page. So if an old page results in a 401 you could have the script redirect prior to the error being sent.

kuldipvyas, what was your redesign? A little more info might give us an opportunity to make suggestions.

[kuldipvyas]

not so far redesign only link structure is change. my old pages have very long deep links something 3 to 4 deep link so so i change that and make short links...... and nothing....

What is the status of your Sitemap?
It may be of some value to ensure that the new structure of your site is clearly defined within a sitemap that is easily accessible from your homepage. And of course, this should be resubmitted to the search engines.
