> Fixing the current links within your site so that they're search engine safe will actually break ALL of your indexed links within Google, or Yahoo, etc.
In this case I put in a hook old so the old links still work. They do a 301 redirect to the new link schema. That should cover the search engines and any bookmarks. It seems to be working... http://www.austin-williams.com/news.cfm. All the links are now SEO 'friendly'. I've set it up so the CMS automatically builds the link when new records are added. Most of the time there is no need to change that, but I've also put in an option to 'rebuild' a link on record update. It defaults to OFF, but it can be forced on to do it sometimes. Here's a case in point why I did that... One thing we build is banking sites. So they create an account and it builds the link: http://commercialbank.com/accounts/free-checking. That's great, but now the CEO they can't afford to give away checking accounts anymore, so they need to charge $2/month. So the update the account, but http://commercialbank.com/accounts/free-checking is misleading. In this case they need to change the link, so they have an option to rebuild to, say: http://commercialbank.com/accounts/really-cheap-checking. I see no way around this. In spite of the best efforts, some links may occasionally be lost. Robert B.
