seo question

My photo blog, running on the widescreen template, just uses one main section (archive).
I’m doing a redesign of it and was thinking of changing the name of the archive section to something more keywordy. The blog is doing good for the target keywords I started with, I don’t want it to go backwards but now I want to introduce another keyword or two. What are the pros and cons off changing the name of the archive section to add a new keyword? Would a “redirect” bit in the htaccess file to sort that out?
thanks

Whenever you change the main URL structure of your site it is recommended to manage and explain a redirect.

Re: seo question

Hi it’s been a while since i started this thread.
I did a redirect in the htaccess file but i am still getting a lot of 404 errors.

did this:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/tag/(.*)$ http://www.donegalimage.com/photographs-of-ireland/$1
RedirectMatch 301 ^/archive/(.*)$ http://www.donegalimage.com/ireland-photographs/$1

but get this:

http://donegalimage.com/archive/    404 (Not found) 	26 pages 	Nov 17, 2010
http://donegalimage.com/tag/well/   404 (Not found) 	

there is more to the .htaccess file i can post if anyone’s interested.

-best
Kevin
