I wonder if they are just trying to promote their adsense products while trying hard to convince us that there is a goldmine waiting to be discovered. I personally don’t think so.

If it's so, rename the file to .htaccess and upload it to your public_html directory. Now, open your browser (Aren't you using FireFox? Oh boy, you're missing a lot!!) and browse to your old filename. You got redirected to the new page location!! Voila!! Search engines read your old filenames as 301 code and not a 404. Eventually they should drop the old filenames and index new ones. Your visitors seamlessly visit your new page following the old filename.
