301 old e107 urls to new furl'd urls

hi ricky, im using furl for the second time and now like the plugin. google indexing the urls better now. thank you! but even though i have changed all website urls to the new furl ones and have changed the e107 google sitemap urls to the new ones the old urls are still being indexed. so now i have duplicate urls indexed that link to the same content. the old urls will continue to be indexed because they can still be accessed by search engines. how do i 301 the e107 old urls to the new furl'd urls

like if someone went to domain

http://www.domain.com/ e107_forum.html would be redirected to http://www.domain.com/forum.html

add a 301 permanent redirect using htaccess

you can do this in two ways..
First:

redirect 301 /e107_forum.html http://www.domain.com/forum.html

Second:

RewriteRule /e107_forum.html /forum.html [R=301,L]

In addition to this.. you can register yourself in google's webmaster's tool and then you can request them for removal of old urls. and this may take time.. depending upon the crawl rate of google bot on your site.

they dont work ricky

please test it on your localhost/website

check this out ajay

what should happen is this for example

if someone goes to

http://www.8051projects.net/download.php

they get redirected to

http://www.8051projects.net/download.html

best way is a 301

http://www.8051projects.net/download.php = google pagerank 1

http://www.8051projects.net/download.html = google pagerank 2

well worth trying to figure out how to get the 301 to work properly :-)
