Hi All

What's the date thingy in Google?

www.whatever.com/ - 7k - 28 Nov 2002

Do this just stipulate that the site has been updated?

Cheers

Welcome to WW, La_bete

The date is a fresh date, meaning that the page has been spidered by Google's freshbot, that visits some pages daily (or almost). It is _not_ a part of the big monthly update.

Thanks for the welcome and quick reponse :)

Okay then I have a problem I think, I changed a site and uploaded it, some pages from the old site are still up and I get decent ranking for key phrases from some of these pages but they are not linked to index.html.
What's my best bet here? I would like to redirect visitors to the new site, is this playing with fire?

Cheers

Post a message on any subject at any time here on WW. Someone will read it very soon and in most cases know and post an answer. If the answer is wrong or insufficient someone will read it and correct it.

I'm not sure that I understand your question. Did you move a website to a new domain? I did so myself not so long ago. On the old pages I put explanatory text, links and _slow_ redirects (20 or 25 seconds). I would not dare use a fast redirect in a case like that. Search engines might consider it suspect. Smells to much like dirty tricks.
