Hi all.
Just a curiosity question really.
2 months or so ago, i had a site redesigned and some content was moved to new URLs. as an example on the original site all URL requests went through the index page and then parameters displayed the correct content, now most pages have their own URL.
In the new index page we have redirects for the old URLs to the new pages ie.
index.asp?mode=news&newsID=264
Now redirects with the following code.
Code:
if request.querystring("mode") = "news" Then
theURL = "news.asp?newsID=" & request.querystring("newsID")
Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location", theURL
Response.Flush
end if
So the new page is "news.asp?newsID=264"
This has now been in place for over two months but we keep seeing Google searching the old URLs.
How long will it take Google to stop using the old URLs and directly access the new pages.
Any comments on this would be gratefully received.
TIA
Ian
