    Hi,

    I have old site, i have change URL of some sites, old pages are already in Google cache, now my new pages are also cached, i have added old pages in robots.txt and Google webmaster tool

    So i have to redirect old pages to new page?

    Or we don't need to do that? Its must required or we can ignore it

    Kindly advice

    Thanks,

    If the old pages are still driving good traffic, then you should do a 301 redirect on your old pages to the new ones..

    You will lose some link juice using a 301 redirect, but as said above, if your old pages are still active then it's worth it.

    If the old pages have rankings you should setup a redirect.

    If old pages have good ranking & related to new pages then 301 redirect is recommendable. Otherwise you can just leave them or redirect to custom 404 page.
