Thanks, I am using Dmitry’s method now, for example the page “hoeveel” has become “hoeveel-heb-ik-nodig”.

Add this in .htaccess :

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/hoeveel/$
RewriteRule .* /hoeveel-heb-ik-nodig/ [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/hoeveel$
RewriteRule .* /hoeveel-heb-ik-nodig/ [L,R=301]

Because in Google and other sites links are not allways ended with a / I do both:

hoeveel/
hoeveel

gRTz jacco

Dmitry’s approach is the best way when it comes to speed but it also is much less fault tolerant. Other that that you would need to know the basics of .htaccess. I suggest the .htaccess redirects only to people who know what they’re doing and test their lines on a dev-server before setting them live! Another example of Dmitry’s approach can be found here: http://www.typo3-addict.com/2009/01/changing-domainname-using-301-moved-permanently/

As Dmitry Dulepov explains under “Why are TYPO3 redirects bad?” on http://dmitry-dulepov.com/article/redirects-typo3-and-realurl-vs-mod-rewrite.html that it’s much better to redirect in the Apache configuration or the .htaccess file.
Of cource, the bigger the site the more it’s important.
