Hi Guys,

I have a site that is HTML and I am considering moving it to ASP. However this site has a great deal of investement already on SEO and changing the extension on the files would take a hit to our rankings. I've heard that there is a way of saving the ASP files as HTML extension. Does anyone know how to do this?? examples??? many thanks in advance,

Javier

No worries. I found the way to do it. Thanks.

In case someone is in the same boat here is the answer:

1. Open IIS and under the tab Home Directory click on Configuration
2. Under the tab App Mappings you see a list of extensions (.asp should be there too. pointing to a asp.dll)
3. Click the add button and fill in the .html extension.
4. Point it to the same directory as the .asp extension (...\asp.dll)
5. Click apply and ok and ok
6. restart you iis.

Cheers,

Javier

Can someone confirm whether this works now as well.

Is this the best way to redirect html pages to aspx without being penalized by the search engines.
