Default Re: Static to Dynamic site redesign and content redirects

Most of the time we've done similar ... updating a site with new coding page file name changes etc. we've 301'd all the pages...

9 times out of 10 rankings fell (TEMPORARILY) before coming back hire than before.

offset temporarily by doing a bit of or increasing PPC if needed...

Probable reason for temporary fall and how to get rankings back....

LINKS (IBLs) .. All the IBLs for the site go to the existing (old) pages... you need to contact the holders of those links to get links to the new pages..

and

add a few more new links and expand the content on the site a bit

make sure you update your google and yahoo site maps as well as your HTML sitemaps
don't forget to update your robots.txt file too!

... just another 2cents worth... =o)
