We Have a site which includes asp.net and classic asp also,
But Now we want to migrate our site fully into asp.net
in terms of only url changing, we are not going to change domain name,
we want to change only page urls i.e. from .asp to .aspx
e.g.
www.abc.com/pqr.asp to www.abc.com/pqr.aspx

Question 1 : If we use 301 Permanent Redirect, is 301 redirect itself sufficient way for
page url changing?
will it affect our ranking in seo which we achieved over a years.

Question 2 : Is there a need to contact webmaster of every search engine/directory sites for
updating request of changing urls where our site is listed?

Question 3 : What if we are using above methods then how much time it wil take to get indexed
.aspx pages in search engines like google,yahoo,bing etc.. and
Please suggest whether any issues occurred by adapting these methods

Note : We are only using free submissions to submit our site pages to different directories.
(No Paid submissions we have yet used.)

Is there any other fastest way to migrate from .asp(asp) to .aspx(asp.net)
without affecting our seo page index ranking?

A1) A 301 redirect should be sufficient for a page url change, however you will lose some page rank.

A2) A 301 redirect passes through as much page rank as the actual URL would, so there's no need to update other sites if the redirects are put in place.

A3) It really depends on how quickly search engines realise they need to re-index your site. Don't believe you have much control over this.

Google recommends using a 301 when changing URL's: http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=93633[^]
