Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Anyone else feel that "get a membership at BBB.org" will cause google to act diffferently?

I am still not convinced.

Their are 2 ways to do the 301 redirect.

_ All files get redirected to the new extension

site.com/filexyz.php > filexyz.html

• The other is the 301 in which you specify each individual page and its new location.

I did the first method and php pages no longer in google, html are in google but i lost about 50%traffic.  Is this normal or should i have done 301 individual pages?

I have one site that got hit by the latest google updates. Penguin and EMD.

The site was making me nice income but now with the traffic drop its not.  I was going to 301 to a new domain but was reading that if it works to bring it back in the serps it would only last 3-4 weeks...

then i though just get a domain and add the content over time and get rid of the old domain. + take care and build better links.

I bought website that already ranks and been around since about 2003 online.  Not hit by the updates and has few goood links. Would it be a better idea to move content to this site and make it grow?

Not sure what to do..

I bought a domain and it has nice traffic. It only has about 5 main pages in php

When i got the site i switched to html because php was overkill.

I did the 301 and google deleted the php files and replaced with html version when i check site:domain.com

It has been about 7 days.

I DID NOT use 301 for each of the 5 pages to go php to html instead is used this code

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.com
RewriteRule (.) http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RedirectMatch 301 (.).php$ http://www.mydomain.com$1.html

So basically if you load php it will load the html version.  dog.php > dog.html

Is this OKAY? or should it be done differently.... worried!

Thanks !
