Here is my advice:

1) Make sure you point all internal links to the new default.aspx and not http://www.yoursite.com

2) Add a permanent (301) redirect that points to the page that should be indexed. For the example above, set up a 301 redirect on your webserver for www.yoursite.com that redirects to www.yoursite.com/default.aspx.

This is best practice per Google's Matt Cutts. Check out his blog for more details.

Yes, if you use 301 redirects, you will not see any serious problem.

HI

It should not make a difference as i think google gives pr to the domain and not the index page on the domain, but i could be wrong,

Thanks

In .htaccess you want it to read like this

RewriteEngine On

Redirect 301 /index.html /default.aspx

--------------- or -------------

RewriteEndine On

Redirect 301 /index.html http://www.smartvisionz.com
Redirect 301 /default.aspx http://www.smartvisionz.com

I think alike about the 301 redirect, as it is a permanent redirect.
