Dear All,

I am new to Drupal, and I have made up my mind to move my existing static HTML site to drupal. So, I have installed the scripts, some modules, and have started migrating pages.

My Existing site has got really good google rankings and about 200 HTML sub pages get organic traffic.

Below are my questions about the same. Any help will be deeply appreciated...

1) How do I make sure that the url of my exisiting sites remain same (So I do not lose rankings).
Example, my url with good ranking is www.mydomain.com/myfolder/mypage.html
but when I duplicate this page on Drupal the url is www.mydomain.com/node/2 something.

So, how do I make sure, I can keep my existing urls while I am migrating to drupal?

2) All my HTML pages have proper Page descriptions and keywords attached to them, however I do not see any option in drupal to set these in pages. Any ideas?

Many Thanks for your help.

Regards
Ankur

see path module, pathauto module and meta tags module. If your site has a nice structure you should be able to use pathauto quite effectively.
