I recently converted into an REW template using the same domain that was getting decent rankings with in MSN. So my homepage has a different filename now, and Im wondering when/if msn and google will drop the old pages with the old filename? Right now in msn Im #1 and 2 for "oakland Investment Property", but the number two position is the old filename which gives a 404 error when clicked.

You can see it here http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q...ty&FORM=MS NH

Will they eventually drop the old pages?
