    3. Judy, When I reorganize a site (or move one) I copy the entire website to a separate folder on my hard drive and as I finish redoing a page I take the matching "old" page(s), wipe out the content, fix the meta tag statements and add a redirect message saying the page has moved and listing the new link or the link to the new index. That way all my old pages have redirects and I can upload them to where they were and my new pages to where they need to be. Eventually most of the people/places that link to that page make the change or at the least they get to the right spot without much trouble. If you use the above scenario the search engines will read your redirects, follow them and index your new pages. There are a few places I always notify immediately of changes in URLs - usgenweb sites, Cyndi's List and Linkpendium. After that it's use the search engines and notify webmasters as I have time. Meanwhile the redirects from my old pages are doing the job. I've never had much luck getting my content removed when someone copies it and puts it their sites. Some hosting companies will make a user take copyrighted material down, but if it's just facts then they won't. It's frustrating. The most you can do is notify Cyndi's List and Linkpendium of the site's URL that took your information. They've been really good in the past at removing links to that page/site. One time I had a couple of articles I wrote specifically for my website taken by a woman who refused to remove them. I searched for links to her website and contacted those webmasters. The majority of them removed their link to her site and used mine instead. For those who questioned me about my "right" to the articles I sent them to the wayback machine <g> Linda Linda Haas Davenport my Home Page: http://www.lhaasdav.com My Marion Co AR page: http://www.argenweb.net/marion/ my Tulsa OK Page: http://www.tulsaokhistory.com -----Original Message----- From: JFlorian via Sent: Friday, July 17, 2015 12:16 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [FreeHelp] Google Webmaster Tools I'm unsure how to word my questions...so I'll lump it together. What do I need to do if I reorganized my site? How do I get it recrawled? How do I notify webs that linked to me? How do I ask for my content to be removed from sites that have copied my content?
