Hope someone can help with this. I totally redid my website with evolution. I have Google reports that show me number of visitors and what pages they visited. Even though my site has been up 3 weeks, there are still many hits on my old site. If people knew to refresh the site, maybe that wouldn't happen. Is there anything I should do to prevent this?

I should add that I am using the same domain name and address as my previous site.

When you are uploading or changing a template in X5 you should delete the entire website off your server. V8 & V9 or an external FTP Client such as Core FTP they give you the opportunity to do this.........

Then you do a "FULL UPLOAD"

Peoples browsers need refreshing for your "NEW" website you can use Meta Equiv

insert this in your head (Index only- map creation) for a few weeks:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60">

If you need more info contact me below.......

Hi, thanks for the information. I am wondering if I put this in the header, what will show up on the website and/or if that causes an automatic refresh of someone's browser? The other thing I've noticed is that when I do a google search for some keywords in our site, the pages from the old website show up in the search, and when clicked the old page opens up. Is this just normal that it takes a while for the old pages to get dumped out of Google search and new ones in their place?

Yes your website will be in Googles cache for a bit till it crawls your site again.

Google is very unpredictable so I can't even hazard a guess as to when. could be days might even be weeks!!

To force Google to crawl your website quicker? Re-submit your website URL in Google Webmaster Tools........

GOOD TIP:

Insert this line into Google Search to find all your webpages: 

site:www.yourwebsite.com
