We have had a site up for over a year and a half, have gotten a pretty good rank with Google, but now we want to do a face lift, we are keeping the Domain name, but we will be changing up a lot of the site, (almost a complete rewrite) and I don't wanna lose any of my Hard earned PR, any suggestions would be great. thanks again, and good looking out.

We do use "search engine friendly" urls, so use... http://www.sudokushop.com/product_info.php/products_id/138 rather than http://www.sudokushop.com/product_info.php?products_id=138 and this is one of the true powers of PHP - that is very easy to do.

So far, everything I have come across indicates that Google can and will crawl PHP. Along the same line as Matt, as long as the URL doesn't get too complex with id=?, etc., it should have no problem being found. JRister: We had the same problem with a client recently.

To move your host without affecting Google you MUST follow these explicit instructions (though not necessarily in the order given). 1. Research your decision regarding which host to use. 2. Switch to new host of your choice. 3. Have a beverage. It's that simple. Switching hosts does not hurt you in Google. I am, however, very anxious to hear about changing domains.

Now if a dynamic site has pages with 15 or 16 parameters, that's really hard to crawl. But 1-2 parameters should be quite doable. Ben, I went with pair.com.

Seems like it's loading up almost instantly. Not sure how it was before, never really paid a lot of attention since I'm waiting to read your next post. By the way, tips for moving your site to a new host would be extremely helpful for not only me, but very informative for others. GD The blog seems to be doing great.
