I agree with mplungian. &nbsp;Google needs to be told where those pages go, or you'll lose their rank altogether. &nbsp;A 301 is the appropriate way to do this, and Google handles them internally.

We migrated our site from straight-up file-based system to Drupal. &nbsp;Unfortunately, many links in Google point to our old site. &nbsp;If I search for Murray Richtel, for example, I get a hit for this address (the old URL).<br />

Murray now lives here:<br />

This issue exists for many of the pages in the site. &nbsp;Do we handle the issue with simple URL redirects?

Are URL redirects the best way to deal with Google and moved pages?

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.

The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.

Content management (CM) is a set of processes and technologies that supports the collection, managing, and publishing of information in any form or medium. When stored and accessed via computers, this information may be more specifically referred to as digital content, or simply as content. Digital content may take the form of text (such as electronic documents), multimedia files (such as audio or video files), or any other file type that follows a content lifecycle requiring management.
