Manually edit mass URLs?

spunko2010

Hi all. One of my sites has seen 95% drop in traffic overnight, and a GWT warning about unnatural links :S Unfortuantely for Fatt Cutts, I have the same domain with hyphen ready to go. I have 15-20 projects with this link (among others) in them. Instead of manually editing each one, can I edit a .txt file or some other method inside SER to change them? EG from www.olddomain.com to www.newdomain.com instantly. Thanks

use notepad++ and do a search /replace on *.prj files.

spunko2010 Yes. In the .PRJ files for these projects which are in C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\GSA Search Engine Ranker change all of the the URL= values.

Example:

change old

• URL=http://matcuttsislame.com/spamorama.html
  
• URL=http://matcuttsislame.com/spamorama-page2.html
• URL=http://matcuttsislame.com/spamorama-page3.html
• URL=http://matcuttsislame.com/spamorama-page4.html

to new

• URL=http://matcutts-is-lame.com/spamorama.html
  
• URL=http://matcutts-is-lame.com/spamorama-page2.html
• URL=http://matcutts-is-lame.com/spamorama-page3.html
• URL=http://matcutts-is-lame.com/spamorama-page4.html

Ok, thanks. Perhaps @Sven you can consider making this part of 'Modify' options or is it too difficult to implement for multiple projects? I mean if we select all of them.

I don't want to make it a function....way to special.

I have done this now. Just an FYI to anyone reading this later - make sure to stop projects (or even better close SER altogether) before replacing URLs or it will freeze.

Hmm it should not freez at all. It should reload it's settings automatically.
