Move Site To ROOT - Google Index LOSS?

[sharplab]

We are planning to move our shopping cart

from a sub directory to the root directory at

www.xyz.com.

 

Problem is that we have about 3300 pages indexed

and we do not want to lose this index after our move.

Is there anythingg we can do to avoid this?

Should we simply leave the store in the /shop

directory or will we get better indexing from

having our store in the root directory?

 

Also if we do lose the indexed pages will we have to start all over

with respect to sand box and such? The domain will remain the same, we just

want to get our entire shopping cart into the root dir.

 

THX!
