[racket] Google doesn't know from DrRacket

I'm guessing there is a XML sitemap registered with google/bing/yahoo?

Google respects the http redirection response(301), but only seems to
maintain page rank for page to page mappings:

I know I'm statingthe obvious, but If you have access to your old web site
access logs page referrer statistics, you can limit yourself to the pages
that seem have high page rank, rather that trying to catch everything.

Cheers,
