ABOUT URLs

Dear sir

I saw some of your member website has replace the URLs for example

this thread url replace with

http://vbseo.com/pre-sale/about_urls/

I wonder if one day I make the change to replace the url with vbseo

and someday I want to change to

http://vbseo.com/pre-sale-about_urls.htm

how can I keep both of link works for others ?

which is mean people can use both of this url to link back to my site ?

do you have some kind of function about this ?

what is that call ?

Url consistancy is very important. Thats why once you install vBSEO and define a url format you should not change your url format. If you ever decide to change it you can add a redirect for your old urls to new format however it is not advised

Thanks for your help .

But we are human , we always learns things from mistake , so I need to make sure if that possible to correct the mistake we make in the future .

So what you said about " you can add a redirect for your old url " .

how to make it in the VBSEO ?

that will be a redirect table (lots of old link to new link direction ) or just one click ?

awaiting for your reply , thanks

Hello Jimmy,

We will give you rewrite rules that you will need to place into your .htaccess, but again, that is not advised.
