Renaming of pages

[Resultify]

About 2 months ago one of our clients renamed a section of his website.

The worst part is that the URLs of the page also changed.

New page:

http://www.meresverige.dk/rejser/malmo

Old page:

http://www.meresverige.dk/rejser/malmoe

The problem now is that the new page get absolutely no page-rank transfered from the old page. It also get no mozrank at all.

Also if I try to find it in the Open Site Explorer it can not be found.The old page can, but not the new one.

We have updated the sitemap.xml and also done proper 301 redirect for the pages since about 2 months.

Any ideas here? This page was a very important page in terms of traffic so very much thankful for any input.

Have a great day

Fredrik

Thanks for the good tips.

Think I done em all except the trailing slash. Will look at that.

If you look at this page http://www.meresverige.dk/rejser/malmoe, it should do a 301 redirect to the new one. Does the redirect look ok to you?

"done proper 301 redirect"

If you had, one of those pages should redirect to the other. Have another check.

The 3 most important bits

• always force www. on or off
• always force trailing slash / or off
• always force lowercase of all urls

An example of how these good urls work

If for my site www.buyanipad.co.uk I had chosen

• always force www. on
• always force trailing slash /
• always force lowercase

Anyone typing in any of these urls

• www.buyanipad.co.uk
• buyanipad.co.uk
• http:Buyanipad.co.uk/
• BuyAnIpad.co.uk

Would all redirect to

• www.buyanipad.co.uk/
