I'm a professional Web Programmer who would like to know if there is a way to, on an IIS Windows 2000 server, make dynamic ASP pages, that typically use the .asp extension, appear to be processing from a .html extenstion (or an extension that is search engine friendly).
I read-up on this in the past and foolishly didn't save the resources to my favorites, but I read that if you modify the 404 error page, you can make dynamic ASP pages "seem" like they are using the .html extension, essentially making the webbots think dynamic pages are static in order to get them listed on search engines and improve website ranking. Are there programs available that can do this?
In addition, I will be replacing an entire html website with a dynamic portal site that uses ASP. What is the easiest way to redirect searches for pages that have already been listed on search engines? Meta refreash maybe?
Please help, this project is due Friday.

No. Use a 301 redirect.

IIS allows you to arbitrarily decide which file extensions are run through ASP, so you can tell it to treat .html just as if it is .asp. This has nothing to do with your error pages.
As for the search, keep the old pages with just the meta refresh, so the search engine spiders will take notice that the page is redirecting elsewhere.

actual Google bot will flow slowly stable in static information superhighway content than dynamic one. additionally you're able to desire to circumvent utilising javascript. For greater effectual search engine optimization result, consistently choose stable high quality content fabric.
