404

error

Couple of months ago, we revamped our web site. We adopted totally new site structure, specifically merged several pages into one. Everything looks charming.

However, there are lots of dead links which produce a large number of 404 errors.

So how can I do with it? If I leave it alone, could it bite back someday, say eating up my pr?

One basic option is using 301 redirect, however it is almost impossible considering the number of it.

So is there any workaround? Thanks for your considering!
