    Question Dead links of an old board

    Hey,

    we've had a IPB 2 which we switched to vBulletin 4 with vbSEO. Our Board is ranked well in google - of course with the links of the old board that do not match the links of the new board anymore.

    Are there any tips of you how to handle that?

    Old links (of IPB 2) look like that: index.php?showtopic=25250&view=getnewpost
    New links are made with vbSEO. Even the topic IDs do not match anymore.

    Which is the best way to solve that problem relating to SEO?

    Greetings from Germany,
    Martin

    You should check out 404 / 301 Tool After Import Redirect on ImpEx imported forums if you used the Impex tool to import all of the old posts on IPB2... This will make your old links redirect to the new thread on vBulletin.
