I have modified my website www.vidyaniketan.in. It is a Joomla 2.5 site. When I search for it in Google by URL, there are several sub-links displayed (e.g., ABOUT US). this links to the old webpage. How do I link it to new webpage? I tried following code in my .htaccess file:Redirect 301 /about_us.html http://www.vidyaniketan.in/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=71&Itemid=468but unfortunately it's not working.

As mentioned you will need to wait for Google to re-index your website.In Joomla 2.5 though you don't need to hack the .htaccess file everytime you restructure your site or move an article. Simply add the desired redirect to the Redirect component (you may also need to enable the Redirect plugin).To use it navigate to Components>Redirect and you can add new redirects there. After a while you will also see other failed requests to your website, the large majority will be people trying to hack your site by looking for unsecured software installations.
