Changing the way of rewrite URL format but google ?

[snowbird]

I want to change view of rewrite URL format but make sure google page links will go to new URL format. Because new google crawling will be in a few days for new format. So can I still have old type URL to be redirected to new ones?

This is my current rewrite URL for product info display

Code: Select all

product-name-p-3761.html

New format:

Code: Select all

product-name,pid3761

Visitors coming from google will click on www.mysite.com/product-name-p-3761.html but www.mysite.com/product-name,pid3761 will be displayed.

OLD FORMAT:
RewriteRule ^(.*)-p-(.*).html$ product_info.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}

NEW FORMAT:
RewriteRule ^(.*),pid(.*) product_info.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}

Any help?

Try

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

# Redirect /product-name-p-3761.html to /product-name,pid3761
RewriteRule ^(.+)-p-([0-9]+)\.html$ /$1,pid$2 [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^(.+),pid([0-9]+)$ /product_info.php?products_id=$2 [QSA,L]
