Keep the old pages but remove ALL the content. replace them with a cfheader like this... <cfheader statuscode="301" statustext="Permanent redirection"> <cfheader name="Location" value="your full url to your new page"> <cfabort> This basically tells the engine that the old page is gone and the new page replaces it and that this is a permanent change. Essentially it is identical to cflocation EXCEPT that cflocation is a 302 statuscode and is a temporary redirect... AFAIK this is the only way to rename pages and keep the search engines happy about it.... We've done it on a few sites now as we've done SEO work on sites including optimizing the page names... It takes about 10 days for Google to notice these things and I think about 4 months before all the links are updated but I keep the old pages just in case people bookmark them...
