If I'm making changes to site code, content, adding/removing pages, changing links, changing database structure, etc.. How do I safely test all these changes, while still maintaining ability to revert back to the original and retain original search engine ranking and position (in case something screwy happens)?

I want to make changes, see what happens, if it happens to be bad for SEO - do the common sense thing and go back to original. Thanks for the help!

First off create a backup of your current site so you have something to go back to in case something goes wrong.

But one way to do it is have 2 domains, a live (www.mydomain.com) and a development (dev.mydomain.com). Try to keep them on the same server to eliminate any server environment issues. Do all your changes in the development site to make sure everything works properly.

Then move a little over to the production site and see if it affects your status. If it does not than move a few more changes over. If it does refer to the backup you created.
