Is there any literature out there on how to perform any and all of these tasks? Some kind of "Increase number of Google Hits" for Dummies guide? Have these issues already been addressed in another thread? Might there be some guide i could view before I resort to asking you guys 2 million technical questions?

If you have access to the server logs you would see this error for someone that requests a page that does not exist anymore.

Then at least you could confirm someone is attempting to visit the site but was not successful due to a bad url.

Then also resubmitting to the search engines is another path.

Are the UBB scripts and 'redirects' unique? Or are they pretty much standard and not specialized to UBB? Where can i read about this? Show me, please. Thanks

Show me, please. Thanks
