What you want is a 301, which "invisibly" says to all search engines and visitors "This page has moved permanently" How you do it, would depend on various factors, depending on whether you have changed the site layout or not, and whether your internal pages are visited and listed in search engines - they usually are! There will probably be a simple method to do it in a .htaccess file in the root directory of the old site. This method will keep your Page Rank, etc., and will be picked up by most search engines. The redirect does not do this, and should normally only be used in temporary URL changes. -- Pete Clark Sunny Andalucia http://www.hotcosta.com/comm_1.htm
