[TYPO3-english] realurl: How to change URLs AND keep Google ranking?

[Martin Bless]

I have a customer with a very complicated TYPO3 4.5.x
installation. *Realurl* is 1.11.1. I'm not very experienced with
/realurl/, so let me ask. If it's of common interest I would add
it to the /realurl/ documentation later.


Currently they have - well ranked - pages like:

customer.de/seo-page/topic-1
customer.de/seo-page/topic-2
customer.de/seo-page/topic-3

The "seo-page/" is due to an intermediate (sys-) folder in the
page tree. Oviously it should be removed.

Q: How can I drop that part of the path without loosing Google
ranking?

This behaviour would look correct to me:

1. Have realurl issue better urls from now on like:
customer.de/topic-1
customer.de/topic-2
customer.de/topic-3

2. Have realurl still recognize old urls and trigger a redirect
with status 301:

customer.de/seo-page/topic-1 [R=301] -> customer.de/topic-1
customer.de/seo-page/topic-2 [R=301] -> customer.de/topic-2
customer.de/seo-page/topic-3 [R=301] -> customer.de/topic-3

Questions:

Q: What of this is achievable by standard /realurl/, maybe
assisted by an additional existing extension?

Q: How would you proceede?

Thank you very much.
