I have a website that has been up for about 2 years now, it gained some search engine reputation over the time, and now I'm interested in using htaccess on it, to rename things such as:
/index.php?act=Login to simply /Login
Now the problem is, that search engines will see both urls, and the login page is far from being the only url I will rename. Which pretty much means that my entire website will have double the urls it has now, What can I do to prevent it from causing damage to the SEO?
Is there some line of htaccess code I could use to redirect the old pages to the new ones as well? (I'm not even sure if that'll solve the SEO issue)
Thanks in advance
