Loosing all Links in Upgrade from 5.5 to 7.0.3

[Ryancampbellmba]

Hi,

I recently upgraded my site from 5.5 to 7.0.3, as well as changing hosts and I have not lost all of my inlinks and directories as a result of doing this. We do not seem to be indexed anywhere. Has anyone ever heard of this happening and what can be done to fix this? Is there a way to retrieve this information? Right now we are at a total loss, because our traffic has dropped way down and our orders have essentially stopped. Any information and help to get us back on track would be appreciated.

Can you post a link to your site? Other Able 7 sites have dropped in ranking when they were using the ComponentArt flyout menu. Able 7 also doesn't put the title tag first and on the product pages there is no <h1> tag showing the product name before the rest of the store header. I think some of the problem might be the extra code that .net 2.0 and Ajax put out also.

You may want to setup some url redirects with 301 errors.

Read following topic for 301 redirects.

If you have a ton of pages to redirect, look into ISAPI ReWrite. You can create 301 redirect rules that effect more than one page at a time. Lots of hosting companies provide this or a similar tool to create 301 redirects.

There is a learning curve, but it's worth it if you have lots of pages.
