Not a Typical Rewrite Question

[sofomor]

Hi Guys,

Understand the question please.

The client wants to add some complex functionalities to its already top ranking HTML pages by converting them ASP.

Since these pages are already top ranking, would doing a Re-write (not re-direction) from HTML to ASP is feasible or possible?

The developer wants the pages to be with full asp functionalities but re-write them in a manner that they appear same html to normal users and search engines.

Give me related information as well and if possible exact solution.


Thanks a bunch in advance :)

Cheers

First off, I am no expert. Let's get some more replies but personally, I switched from html to asp and it made no difference. Google looks for content. Then again, if it ain't broke?

I'm not sure what kind of functionalities you may be refering to but I switched so I could use a footer in a language I was familiar with.

Should be quite easy with .htaccess simply re-write the .htm to .aspx

Since you are requesting changes to ASP pages, I assume this is on a Windows server running IIS.
.htaccess is not an option.
If you have server access there may be other options.

As far as your original concern, unfortunately, I don't have a clear answer for you and am interested in this outcome myself. At least my post will give your thread a bump to the top ;).

This would do the trick re-write for IIS
