URL changes - making it Google friendly

Hi,

I'm thinking of changing URLs on my site from

http://www.mysite.biz/property/costa-bl ... ia/villa36

to something like

http://www.mysite.biz/property/costa-bl ... ia.villa36

instead.

Can anyone tell me how I get the old form URLs to redirect with the 'permenently moved' status, so that the search engines can reindex properly (I cannot use mod_rewrite).

Many thanks

Mark

if you search for mod rewrite, you would find lots of info for what you needed.

Hongco,

When I say I can't use mod_rewrite, I mean it is disabled for my shared hosting. Therefore I'm posting on here to find an alternative.

If anyone has any possible solutions I would be grateful.

Many thanks

Mark

maybe a specialized 404 handler?
