Google Cache, and Url Update Questions..

[twotasty]

i have changed my site layout from having all the pages stored in the main directory to a directory for every page.

ie.. from this..
mydomain.com/thispage.php

to this..
mydomain.com/thispage/

etc..

Gooogle is displaying the old pages which no longer exist. Users are being sent to the 404 page which redirects them to the index. 90% of users are still finding their way to the content they requested and browsing the site etc., so it isn't exactly the end of the world. When will google update my site listings to reflect the changes i have made?

Also when i searched for answers to my question prior to creating this thread i saw information reguarding the NOARCHIVE tag.. Would the inclusion the robots no archive tag affect my rankings in any way?

you can tell google not to index your page, then you won't get a 404 from a link from google, because of your uri change

-or-

simply write an intelligent 404 error page which looks if /subdir exist and matches the requested page and redirects there with a 302 - moved permanently.

google is not responsible, if you change your uris anyway.

Wwill or will not google update (ie crawl) my site again come time for the next deepcrawl(anyone know an approximate date for the next..) and replace the old urls with the new urLs?

I never spoke on condition of responsibility. Thanks for the 404 suggestion though.

In my opinion you should expect the changes to occur in the full index after one, or two Google updates [webmasterworld.com]. Fresh listings can come and go before that time.
