I have recently re-structured an existing website in terms of look n feel, navingation and have renamed the .htm pages to have better exposure to search engines.
Google still shows the OLD pages in the cache.
I want to make sure that google cache's the new file names and pages by overwriting old file names cache.
What would be an ideal way to do this?
Thanks
HarRy

You could disallow the pages using the robots.txt file, but Google will continue to show the pages as URL-only entries for many months or years to come.
I think it would be much better to upload a blank page with:
<html>
<head><meta name="robots" content="noindex"></head>
<body>Nothing Here</body>
</html>
in it for each page that you no longer want to show up. That should take effect very quickly.

You mean URL-only entries page names(www.mydomain.com/oldfilenames.htm) should be replaced with the blank page to tell google not to index it.
If I have understood it right, old entries will get removed quickly from google's database.
what should I do to get the new fresh inside pages indexed/cached/crawled by google.
I am curious for the BIG picture of having high PR on the website.
Thanks

I can do that for old pages, but my homepage gets back to the old cache every alternative day, which in results does not show up the site in top 10 listings.
Thanks

Google is in the middle of an update.
Things will settle down in another week or so.
