moving a subweb to the mainweb?

[Guest]

With the search engine spiders out there becoming more finicky over the links
they follow, can I move my subweb (which is where the entire site is) to the
main web in frontpage? And all the links and shopping cart and dynamics and
EVERYTHING still function correctly?

If not, is there a way to redirect to the subweb so search engines can
follow it. I know google hates the response.redirect.

Thanks!

Open the subweb in FrontPage and then publish it to the
root Web location. This presumes, of course, that there's
nothing in the root Web that you want to keep.

If there is stuff in the root Web that you want to keep,
and it has different names than anything in the subweb,
then just click No when FrontPge asks if you want to
delete files on the destination that don't exist on the
source.

Or, just open the root web, right-click the subweb icon
in the Folder list or Folders view, and then choose
Convert To Folder. (This, however, discards any Theme you
applied and any Nafvigation View diagram you've drawn.)
After that, you can just move stuff around.

It all depends on how you have structured the navigation if links will continue to work. You will
however break all links for search engines if the subweb is part of the path, unless you just
convert the subweb to a folder within the current web.
