Making changes

[mdmoz]

Hello,

I need to make some major changes on my newly launched website which is already indexed by google and added in GWT.

Now, do I bring the current version of site down? and use Google URL removal to delete URLs?

The changes I am going to implement, is going to be alot, changes of contents, adding more pages, changing URL names and such.

Also not to mention, site is so new, has not traffic.

My plan is to have a fresh start with the new version.

Your advice is appreciated.

Personally I would make the changes and do a full manual crawl from within GWT Fetch and Submit, trying to unpick the current site will be time consuming and not really required as the site is so new ( ..having said that, how new is new?)

The only thing to bear in mind, is that you can only do a full fetch and crawl 10 times a month, so you might want to either wait until you are happy to do this, or do a full fetch on initial relaunch and then only Fetch and submit pages you then subsequently change.

Hope that helps

Bruce
