If you have FTP access, you might then have to work in the .htaccess file and build the redirects in there.

Hi Rasmus,
DO check your blog / articles over as I see they all have the site name at the end of them. This is either being pre-filled or you have put this in yourself; I can't tell which.
If you haven't added this, then you need to see where it is being picked up from.

Hi Rasmus,
From what I can see, this only appears to affect your blog section and blog posts? Perhaps articles too?
I'm not sure what is powering your blog, but if it is Wordpress, or similar, then there is a setting where you can title your blog - this is normally your blog name and tends to get filled in when setting up and then forgotten. This problem then arises when you title a page and even though you haven't added the blog name in, it will be added automatically.
Does that make sense?

Absolutely - Install this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-301-redirects/
I use this on a couple of my own sites and it works a treat.

Hi William,
During the transition period, he could always look at Adwords in order to keep enquiries coming in and until the organic side of things kicks in?

noindex,follow is common for these pages. You want Google to be able to navigate their way around the links and pages, but letting tag pages in create lots of additional and unnecessary pages into the index. You never find these pages ranking in Google even when they are open.
Choose a good, logical category structure, promote your blog posts and the pages will all be found.

Always noindex these where you can Martin as it avoids lots of duplicate pages being created. Yoast makes this nice and easy
