Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Sha Menz, Exactly this is what I was thinking and looking to hear! Really happy to find this information. Now I can move forward, because I was doubtful whether I was right or not. thanks so much!

Title Pages are easy to fix, so i would suggest fixing those asap. Think of it this way, imagine you had 20 friends in a room and they were all named BOB. If i had to walk in and ask for BOB, then who would i speak to and know which one i need..lol.. The same applies to the search engines and duplicate page titles...which page do they go to if they are all called the same;-) As for the site structure, no, i wouldnt be too worried about this at all. It was just a suggestion in case you had duplicate page content issues. Which is no So dont worry about it. I would recommend that you Google panda update,and read up on these issues like duplicate content etc. If you found this useful then please click answered

Hi Nick, Thanks so much! Is there any advantage for shorter URLs over long ones? My site is on IIS6, How can I remove the .aspx extension in IIS6?

Hi, Thanks so much Zachary. In fact I am purely from linux background. This is the first time I am dealing with IIS. let me check albiet short and IIS Manager. Apart from web config file, I read about global.asax file. I think these files are are used for redirecting a whole site, right?. But in my case I need to redirect some of my old html pages to aspx pages. best!

You want your redirect rules on the server, not client site. In Apache you can do this with mod_write and the .htaccess file like so. To add the www RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L] To remove the www: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.+)$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L] In IIS they have a rewrite command too. I've not used it myself but this should help: http://www.petermoss.com/post/How-to-redirect-non-www-domain-to-www-domain-requests-in-IIS-7.aspx

I'd recommend implementing 301 at the server level e.g. in IIS settings rather than the code level. There are loads of guides on this - just search for "301 iis6 redirect" on your favourite search engine. Hope this helps.
