How can I back google trust?

Hi,

I made some mistakes after installing vbseo and change the urls three times in two weeks, it`s horrible to think about that but you know, the right decision take some time.

Now I check the sitemaps tool and know that I have more than 7000 link not forund.

So, is there anything I can do about that?.I enable an option in vbseo to redirect the not found links but google also consider it not found.

Can This issue fixed and back my trust again?And what about fasting this process, Is there any tip for that?

Thanks!

Keep your CRU settings in place unchanged now. They'll re-adjust. But the good thing is that you've realized your error, so you can avoid repeating it.

Thanks Joe,
I just check the sitemap tool now and my not found links decreased to 126 link!

Excellent - you're already making forward progress.

Is there a way to avoid this issue, Joe?

Don't change your URL format.

Exactly. The one feature of vBSEO that you absolutely have to "set and forget" is the CRU settings. You have all the flexibility in the word in setting them up as you would like, but you must keep them the same once you make your decision. Otherwise, it would result in the search engines being very confused by constantly finding thousands of pages with changed addresses. Over time, I'm sure this would lead to some kind of penalty.

Remember: Choose your URL format, set it, and forget it.

Will it include changing the category names?

You can change them, periodically, if necessary. But it is strongly recommended that you do so very infrequently.

But he will lose the Page Rank of the category If he using "forum_title" format, right Joe?

And my not found links increased today to 10 , but there is a new links which like
domain.com/xxx and won`t redirect ofcourse, it`s not in the forum folder.
Is there a way to redirect any not found link in the site like vbseo do, or what you recommendation for the 404 pages.I didn`t make it for now.
