The Url Tracker is used to manage URLs within umbraco. It automatically tracks URL changes, for instance when a node is renamed, and makes sure the old URL will redirect to the new location.
Actually, I have an old website, a non umbraco site. Now, we are creating an umbraco site to replace the existing one. How can I redirect (301) the old urls to the new ones, please?
SEO Indexes mapping
Hi all,
I have a questions regarding SEO indexes mapping.
We have a new website for a company and need to map old website indexes to the new website pages.
I am using 301 Url Tracker.
But I am not sure how exactly use it sinve the old website is using aspx pages and the new one is umbraco MVC site.
Old sURL, for examples is www.domain.com/news-articles.aspx
New URL is www.domain.com/news
Can you please guide how to achive this because I am trying to do this but when I save, the old URL is becoming just news-articles, without aspx.
Any ideas pls?
Thank you.
Hi Simon,
You can't use UrlTracker for rewriting .aspx pages, because such urls are handled by IIS before UrlTracker, we used urlRewring for the same task.
Thanks
So,
For what will be used the 301 Url Tracker If cannot do that?
Thank you
Kind Regards

Hi Simon,
Try to use https://github.com/aspnetde/UrlRewritingNet, we used it in few projects successfully.

Hi Simon,
You can use SEO Checker for that http://soetemansoftware.nl/seo-checker it handles all canonical rewrite issues with 2 clicks and does a lot more.

Hi Alex,
How should I use that asp.net package, Please?
Hi Simon,
Download here http://soetemansoftware.nl/seo-checker/downloads, and install as usual Umbraco package.
Thanks
Hi Alex,
Not the the Umbraco package, but the other ASP.net package.
Thank you.
Other asp.net package? There is only a Umbraco package that you can install via the Umbraco package installer.

Hi,
I will use the UrlRewriting in the UrlRewriting.config file, where you can set various rules, such as this:-
<add name="newsRedirection"
virtualUrl="http://www.mydomain.com/news-page.aspx"
rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
destinationUrl="http://www.mydomain.com/news"
redirect="Domain"
redirectMode="Permanent"
ignoreCase="true" />
is working on a reply...
