Ideas on salvaging page rank

HI All,

I was wondering if anyone has run into this situation, and if so, how you addresses it.

I have an existing site (mostly static html) Its been there for several years. I want to replace it with CMSMS. Many of the pages on this site have hard earned google page rank associated with them.

If I replace the site with CMSMS none of the URLs are going to be the same. I don't want to loose my pagerank.

any ideas?

Thanks
John

just use the same alias for your new pages (and rewrite to have .html at the end) that way your urls we stay the same...

Hi John,

this "from a static site to CMSms while keeping URLs and page rank" howto is new and may be buggy, so your feedback is welcome.
Have fun.
