<a href='http://site.com/videos/<?php echo $new_link;?>.html'>Moved</a>
</body>
</html>
<?php
die();
Update the sitemaps and set canonical url on the new pages.
I have moved some websites in a similar way but better to keep the old url format even if you update the script.
The old links looks less spammy in my opinion. |
