I recently moved my dance team's website from some old free space which came with an ntl line in 1999 (and was only accessible via dial-up!) to something a bit more 21st century. Accordingly, I've put up a redirect page so that
http://www.eastwick.fsnet.co.uk/mabel redirects to
http://www.mabelgubbins.co.uk However, a quick google suggests that there are a few pages which turn up quite high in the search queries (like our recipe for damson gin!) Including people's private bookmarks, there will be quite a few links to specific pages which have now gone away - and I've only redirected index.html
Is there a good way of catching eastwick.fsnet.co.uk/anything.html and sending it to index.html (or straight to the new site), or do I need to manually add redirect pages for every single page which used to exist? Assume I know nothing about clever scripty things (and also assume quite a lot of clever scripty things won't be supported).
Any tips for how to ensure that when people search for "mabel gubbins" the new site appears in preferece to the old one also appreciated. What I know about SEO could be written in quite large letters on a postage stamp.
