Changing Configs

16 years 6 months ago #2273 by Bettega
Greetings,

I'm actually using "_" to Space and "Long URLs" as YES as the configuration to SEF Advance. Reading and reading I think the best configs in my case should be "-" to Space and "Long URLs" as NO.

Is there some way to make the change without get an immense number of 404 from Google? Some way to tell Google to permanent redirect (301) to the new URLs? I got 3,220 URLs indexed in Google, a good number pretty high in the results.

Thanks

Not an easy way. The space character could be redirected by mod_rewrite but not switch from long URLs to short ones.

Yes, like I though  :-\

Do you have an idea how much impact the change will have in my Google PR and search results? Shoud be a matter of hours, days ou months to back to the old position?

I've been sending a sitemap every morning to Google.

No, I would guess it's hard to estimate even for Google's employees. :)
