I figure I might add on to Martin's tip with a new tip...

<tip type="things to do when you're redeveloping a site">
If you're revamping a site (say moving it onto a different
backend), then for crying out loud, put in a redirect from all
the old URLs to the new ones. Also, in the code for that new redirect page,
please add a robots metatag to tell the spider to NOINDEX and NOFOLLOW,
that way if it's already in an engine, it can be taken out.
</tip>
