I don’t like how a site looks when SKYPE changes the phone number and add the SKYPE logo. This plugin will keep your site looking as you designed it!

SEO Plugins When Converting a Web Site
One challenge an SEO expert faces when optimizing an established web site is to ensure the site doesn’t lose any search ranking at the search engines for changed urls (permalinks in Word Press). Many web developers and web site owners don’t consider this in their site launch plans. It is time consuming but extremely important to do if the site is receiving any search traffic. The suggested plugins below help to tell the search engines that the pages have moved and to replace the old url with the new url and they make for a much more friendly set of messages and links to the visitor.
These suggestions can save you time when implementing the change of urls from the old to the new site.
Redirection is a WordPress plugin to manage 301 redirections and keep track of 404 errors without requiring knowledge of Apache .htaccess files
Add a custom 404 error message page.
Google 404 This widget makes it easy to embed a Google search box on your custom 404 page.
404 Notifier does just that, notifies you of 404 errors on your site delivered to you via e-mail or RSS.
Smart 404 can be setup to redirect to a page/post with similar keywords in the url or by adding a line to your custom 404.php page <?php smart404_suggestions() ?> you’ll give the visitor a list of links that may be what they are looking for.
404 Images Fix Displays a default alternative image where you are having image missing on your post. Note on POST, does not work for pages.
Google Site Maps This plugin will generate a special XML sitemap which will help search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo and Ask.com to better index your blog.
If you have other sites linking to your web site aka back links, you will want to contact them and notify the owner of your new url/permalink. To find the sites with back links to your site on yahoo got to http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com type in your domain url in the search bar. Google will provide this information within their webmaster tools
Taking time to plan your new site launch will help you reduce the amount of lost traffic you would see if you didn’t take these steps to ensure you remain at the top of the search results pages.
