301 redirect your old URLs (webpages) when redesigning websites

So your website has been around for a few years and it's time to redesign. Maybe you're planing to use a CMS such as Drupal, Joomla, or Wordpress, and you want to use SEF URLs instead of your old "index.asp?pageid=123" dorky ones. Just make sure you 301 redirect all of your old URLs to the new ones.

Check PR and backlinks for snoopyfl (dot) net. Some of the backlinks go to the old domain, snoopyouthfootballleague (dot) com. Based on my experience, Google passed the PR / backlinks from an old domain to a new one after correctly 301-redirecting all of the old URLs.

Lslinger, I moved Snoopy Dogg's Youth Football League website from an old domain to a new one and the PR and backlinks followed to the new domain. I 301-redirected all of the old pages using the method in my video.

I have a new site using wordpress. The old site was built using an article directory script and there were thousands of pages indexed. How can I redirect all the old urls to a new page? I don't know the old urls but I know there are over 4000 404 errors up to know and I need to 301 these hits.

I have installed a wordpress plugin that does the 301 but not sure how to make it redirect all urls.

Thanks

what would happen if 301'ed a aged domain (6years) pr 4 and I re-direct it to a brand new site that is say 1 month old.

Would it transfer all the authority/pr juice/trust/backlinks etc. to the new site??

Thanks... very useful video.
