Hi,
I have a large site that also includes 150 pages of html that I manually update when buyers places an Ad. I have great rankings at the moment, but to make life easier, a developer is automating my site with a database and php. These 150 pages will be renamed with a .php extension, and will be empty and dynamically created when a user opens them. How do I NOT take a rankings hit with the majority of content/Ad rich html pages on my site being of no longer importance/use?

Thanks!

Set up 301 redirects in your .htaccess file.

If you are renaming the pages you can do this:

Redirect 301 /foldername/filename.html http://www.yourdomain.com/foldername/newfilename.php

or, if the file names are the same this will work:

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\.html$ $1.php [L]
