I actually prefer to use meta refresh - it works for search engines and it provides better informatyion about the changes to your visitors.

For each page you've renamed, substitute a small re-direct page with the same file-name:

Put this in the <HEAD>... </HEAD> section:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="10;
URL=http://www.yoursite.com/newpage.htm">

and change the <body>...</body> part to this:

http://www.yoursite.com/oldpage.htm has moved!


Remember to update your bookmarks to:
<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/newpage.htm">
http://www.yoursite.com/newpage.htm</a>.
<BR.
If your browser supports &quot;Client Pull&quot;, you will be automatically taken to the new site in 10 seconds.



Otherwise, please click on the link below:
